The Philadelphia Eagles have the best record in the league at 8-1, and center Jason Kelce has been one of the biggest reasons why. From leading the “Brotherly Shove” to being a podcast host, what doesn’t he do?
The 36-year-old was drafted by the Eagles in the sixth round of the 2011 NFL Draft. He played at the University of Cincinnati and hails from Cleveland Heights, Ohio.
Over his 12-year NFL career, he’s been a Super Bowl champion, six-time Pro Bowl selection, and five-time first-team All-Pro selection. He most recently lost Super Bowl LVII to the Kansas City Chiefs and his brother, Travis Kelce.
Jason’s best accomplishment, though, might be what just happened. He was selected as a finalist for People Magazine’s 2023 edition of “Sexiest Man Alive.”

Kelce’s 2023 has been a wild ride. From playing in the Super Bowl to performing on Saturday Night Live and releasing his documentary on Amazon titled “Kelce,” that doesn’t even cover it all.
Kelce was included as a finalist alongside the likes of Jamie Foxx, Lenny Kravitz, Usher, Timothée Chalamet, and Pedro Pascal. Patrick Dempsey won the honors of the title, though.

As if Jason Kelce’s year wasn’t crazy enough, his brother and fellow podcast co-host, Travis, is the subject of media craze due to his relationship with pop star Taylor Swift.
The news broke during Week 10 when the Eagles were on a bye. “I’ve been wondering what’s been taking so long,” said Kelce, in mention of his honors.

“It’s a win for plus-sized bearded men across the world,” added Kelce.
Kelce has been married to his wife, Kylie Kelce, since 2018. He met her during his time in Philadelphia with the Eagles. They actually met on Tinder. The couple share three children, Wyatt, Elliotte, and Bennett.
According to Jason, these finalist honors are no surprise to his wife.
With the bye week coming to an end, Kelce will get to readjust his focus back to football and his attempt to acquire one more Super Bowl ring before he calls it a career.
