WATCH VIDEO: Emotional Philadelphia Eagles Star Jason Kelce Announces Retirement
It's a sad day in Philadelphia sports history.
One of Philly's most iconic athletes ever has announced his retirement.
Beloved Eagles Center, Jason Kelce, shared the news at a press conference held at the Eagle's training facility on Monday afternoon.
Kelce was emotional for the entire press conference stopping to cry several times during the nearly 45-minute address.
The room was not only filled with reporters and Eagles officials, but it also included his family (mother Donna, brother Travis, and more).
