The legendary Jason Kelce is set to make a triumphant return to Lincoln Financial Field on Monday night, but this time not as a player. The former Philadelphia Eagles center, who retired from the NFL after an astounding 13 seasons with the Eagles, has now transitioned to a new role on ESPN’s revered Monday Night Countdown crew. Kelce’s presence will undoubtedly add an extra layer of excitement to the showdown against the Atlanta Falcons.
But that’s not all – Kelce is scheduled to make additional broadcast appearances during Monday night’s game. In a surprising turn of events, ESPN’s NFL analyst Troy Aikman announced on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) that Kelce will be joining him and Joe Buck in the broadcast booth during the third quarter of the game.
“Making room for my new teammate and future HOF’er @jasonkelce as he will be joining @joebuck and myself in the 3rd quarter on Monday Night Football tonight on ESPN,” Aikman’s post read, accompanied by a photo of him and Kelce.
Aikman and Buck are sure to delve into Kelce’s storied career with the Eagles and discuss how retirement has been treating him. Fans can expect a candid and insightful conversation that sheds light on Kelce’s remarkable journey in the NFL.
Kelce already made quite the impression during his Monday Night Football debut last week, when he provided colorful commentary during the New York Jets vs. San Francisco 49ers game. A viral moment ensued when Kelce shared a hilarious anecdote about forgetting his travel bag and having to urgently purchase a shirt from a local mall. His unfiltered charm and charisma instantly resonated with viewers, solidifying his status as a fan-favorite analyst.
As Kelce gears up for his return to the spotlight at Lincoln Financial Field, the football world eagerly anticipates the insights and entertainment he is sure to bring to the Monday night broadcast.
