Hall of Fame nominee Jason Kelce quits

After last season, Kelce extended his contract again with the goal of making the Super Bowl. The defeat in the final against the Kansas City Chiefs hurt too much.

Back then, he lost to his brother Travis Kelce from Kansas City in the “Kelce Bowl”.

The six-time All-Pro is being touted as a future Hall of Famer, and the 2011 sixth-round pick played 13 years in the NFL.
