Following the Philadelphia Eagles’ triumphant victory in Super Bowl LIX, former Eagles center Jason Kelce took to social media to congratulate his former teammates and express his complex emotions regarding the game. In a heartfelt post on X (formerly Twitter), Kelce wrote, “Congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles, my former teammates, and friends on being SB LIX Champions!! There were a lot of emotions last night.” He elaborated on the mixed feelings he experienced, acknowledging his deep connections to both the Eagles organization and his brother, Travis Kelce, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs.
In addition to his personal message, the “New Heights” podcast, co-hosted by the Kelce brothers, initially shared a congratulatory post featuring images of Jason with the Eagles. However, the post was later removed, leading to speculation among fans. Addressing the situation, Jason explained, “I had Jake take that graphic down because that post had too many pictures of me. I wanted the post to be reflective of the guys who just won, not me. I didn’t win s*** in this one, it felt weird to congratulate this team with a bunch of pictures of me.”
This gesture underscores Jason Kelce’s humility and his desire to shine the spotlight on the current players’ achievements, even as he navigates the personal challenges of supporting both his former team
