[@point6349]

The most knowledgeable sports fans ever🤣

[@trevorwoolley7432]

This guys a walking masterclass on being a man.

[@Redjam55]

He's up there by himself emotional AF. I love him

[@Morrison-yi7mq]

Philadelphia deserved this great man. Not a Philly fan but you were lucky to have him for so long.

[@billyfitzgerald9839]

No one should ever wear #62 for the Eagles again.

[@dc8058]

What a speech! He says to us “thank you for letting me represent this city and allowing me into your homes every Sunday”. I say thank you for representing us with unmatched talent, effort and heart and for being someone worth inviting into my living room every week for 13 years. God bless you and your family now and in the years ahead.

If you don't respect every aspect of Jason Kelce's game, then you don't know football. I am not an Eagles fan but this man was and is a true professional. His heart and determination jumped off the screen anytime you watched an Eagles game. One could say he is the Philadelphia Eagles. I wish him nothing but the best in his retirement and I know he will be just as successful off the field as he was on it.

[@hendo0506]

Now that’s what you call a love for the game

[@robynsegg]

Jason: I was born and raised here in West Philly. I can truthfully say, that even though you weren't born here, there is no doubt in my heart and in my mind that YOU ARE A PHILADELPHIAN! You and your brother truly embodies our nickname "The City of Brotherly Love". Please know that Philadelphia is home to your entire family! (And to Tay-Tay, too! 😉) #Philly, #CityOfBrotherlyLove, #GoEagles, #WeBleedGreen!🦅🏈💚🖤

[@1988theboomer]

Wonderful speech. I felt every emotion through it all.

[@midnighter64]

Mad respect for Jason. Great speech!

[@angelahartman3272]

Jason IS the American dream & a class act. Enjoy your retirement, Mr. Kelse....... you've earned it and deserve it!!!

[@brunan9655]

[@AndreThompson925]

Lifelong Niner fan here, but i have mad respect for #62 and everything he represents. 💔

[@johnwright7745]

All I can say without crying is go birds im going to miss 62 snapping the ball

[@user-sv3bt2xs8c]

I know the exact moment when my child was born, when I first saw the love of my life and the last time I wore my uniform. My heart is always full and there in those moments. Same Jason! ❤️ Happy Retirement!

[@ethanwoods8727]

❤what an amazing powerful man ❤️ I hope he enjoys his retirement

[@redsnorlax1945]

Im a giant fan but i cant help but respect jason...as someone who played 10 years of football and has a deep love for the game this speech really hits deep

[@kbs8597]

What an amazing speech. I know top players just by watching their moves on the field. There is something intangible an elite player has. Jason you are tremendous! I so enjoyed watching you play. Well done!!! I come from a football family. My father coached and he is an Illinois IHSA Football Hall of Fame Coach as is my husband’s father. My knowledge is vast due to watching my dad draw up plays and the number of films I watched with him. You sir are incredible. Think about coaching. You have what it takes! To think two top NFL players came out of one family. Just WOW!

[@debv8492]

Thank you this is an amazing display of honest emotion. The smell of freshly mowed grass is unforgettable. May you have an amazing and wonderfully happy and healthy life with your family!

[@shelleyfrazier-stanton3827]

Love you Jason. You are a stand up guy, great player and even a better teammate. Happy Retirement . Enjoy your time with your family and new endeavors!!!❤

[@Jam3s27]

This dude is so passionate and has a heart of gold you can tell and deserves everything he has and has coming to him one of the best centers in nfl history if not the best congrats on an amazing career

[@susangutierrez4444]

I will watch this speech over and over again just as I did “I am the luckiest man alive” clip by Lou Gehrig. Iconic. As is Jason

[@jasonmcedward2595]

Anybody who knows me knows I'm a die-hard Seahawk fan. You got to give it up to True football players who gave it their all and Jason Kelce was definitely one of them. Enjoy your retirement and I wish you the best on the next chapter in your life.

[@sandy949]

Love the the brothers so much, they were raised right!! Cheers to good football memories Jason!

[@tejida815]

Love this man. A true gentleman

[@durstdrouin7545]

Gentleman! Now its time for family and go get that first ballots gold jacket sir!!!

[@nancykaufmann3993]

This is NOT the "full" speech. You edited out the one minute and 11 seconds at the beginning where he was overcome with emotion before he could even start talking. That is so powerful and you cut it.

[@claytongiampaolo7848]

Hard to watch people cry, glad he edited it out.

[@ag4244]

​@claytongiampaolo7848 he's crying during the entire thing

[@Kingsmoke_365]

Thank you Jason for everything …and shame on you KZbin for all these ads during this speech is ridiculous

[@evagadison2868]

Job well done!

[@angeldones9740]

Thank you sir for all the memories and good time's all the awesome plays and a winning spirit. You are the epitome greatness. Love you bro 💯🙏🏼👍🏼

[@robynsegg]

What hurts just as bad is that Travis is just as broken up as Jason. (And yet, this would have been the most beautiful retirement speech that I've ever heard, if it weren't interrupted every... 5... minutes... by those ANNOYING KZbin ads. 🤬)

[@blessed3662]

Also everyone should watch the Kelce documentary amazing he is brutely honest in it and his wife is truely his backbone and he is hers.

[@SeraphsWitness]

What a legend. And hell yea we all remember that Eagles/Lions snow game. McCoy was shredding.

[@bbpretzel]

We'll miss you 😢

[@lizlange917]

👏👏👏 this is the speech that us pats fans desperately wanted from Tom Brady when he left us 😢💔

[@SteveBerryhill]

THAT'S a man!

[@MandyMarionMay]

I’m a Pittsburgh girl who’s a fan of Jason Kelce!

[@slowburnshipper]

Amazing speech and congratulations on your retirement!

[@fredmoreno8204]

Congratulations and good luck on the next chapter

[@111jjjkl]

Please don’t retire from a game you love so much.

[@caity8904]

[@stephenrohrbacher5919]

[@blessed3662]

His parents should teach or write a book on parenting we'd have alot more great men like the Kelce's so strong but compassonate and just genuinely good men.

[@divistix3398]

[@jonnyskray3000]
