Jason Kelce's strategy for a longer life

Jason Kelce shared his views on life before and after playing in the NFL. He said that everybody leaves the league with some type of impediment. “I’ve had a twice-reconstructed right knee, a surgery on my hand, my groin. I’ve broken toes,” he revealed. 

Jason had his share of things that went wrong. It goes beyond the wear and tear of playing in the league for 13 years. He is leaving the game with scars. But he is glad that he’d be able to play with his kids now. 

The Super Bowl LII champion is still able to fully enjoy his life. He believes that it’s a blessing regardless of playing in the NFL. He weighed 295 pounds during his stay with the Eagles. But he wants to lose some of that now. He has already dropped around 20 pounds.

Kelce doesn’t want to get too small. It makes one look like a bobblehead as the neck gets smaller while the head remains the same.  He aims to drop his weight to 250-260. He added that it’d still make him feel big without having a six-pack.
