Eagles’ Jason Kelce Receives 4-Word Salute From Teammate After Refusing to Address a Special Milestone

The Kelce Brothers are ruling the NFL headlines and the season. Chiefs‘ tight end Travis Kelce has taken not only the NFL but also the whole world by storm by forming a special connection with pop star Taylor Swift. Alongside him, his brother, Eagles‘ center Jason Kelce, is set to break the franchise’s historical record in their upcoming clash against the New York Jets on Monday night.

The Eagles are walking in week 7 with their elite status as one of the few two teams who remain undefeated in the season. While this is an accomplishment enough, the center Jason Kelce will break the franchise record by making his 145th consecutive regular-season start. Although the center chooses to remain tight-lipped about it, his team members are not shying away from praising Kelce for his accomplishment.

OT Lane Johnson praises center Jason Kelce

Eagles’ offensive tackle addressed him as a man who is “tough as a shovel.” Praise like this pouring in from his own team members is just a small representation of the admiration Kelce has bagged in his 12-year journey with the Eagles. “Just a tough dude. I have seen him in elbow braces and knee braces. I just think about how he takes care of his body. A lot of it just goes down to his demeanor.” reported OT Lane Johnson at the Eagles press conference.

Jason Kelce was selected as the sixth-round pick in the 2011 Eagles draft. 12 years and counting, that’s the level of commitment and effort Kelce has given to the Eagles. As a result, the center is set to set a new historical franchise record on Monday at the Met Life Stadium against the New York Jets, and this won’t be the only best thing in Kelce’s records.

Jason Kelce’s insane statistics throughout the years

Meanwhile, Jason Kelce takes his journey of setting new records forward. Let’s have a look back at the impressive numbers he has yielded throughout the years. Monday will mark the day when Kelce breaks the all-time Iron Man streak of offensive tackle Jon Runyan. Runyan recorded 144 starts in his eight years of career with the Eagles from 2000 to 2008. “I’m not talking about it. I’m not superstitious about much, but I’m not talking about that,” said Kelce when asked about it.
