See! Angry Jason Kelce kicks down his table as brother Travis Kelce announces retirement at 34, with tears flowing from his eyes like a baby
It’s been a long journey here for Travis Kelce‘s beloved big bro, as captured in the hit sports documentary Kelce. He nearly retired last year, too.
But he decided to go for a 13th season — the one which would, magically, become his little brother’s luckiest of all time.
But when the moment came, it was so emotional the big guy just couldn’t keep it together.
Every few moments reading his prepared statement, he just fell apart up there. He may never have buckled on the field, but this was a different kind of hit for the six-time Pro Bowl center — especially when he talked about his humble beginnings being a sixth round draft pick in 2011:
won’t forget the call I got from Andy Reid on draft day, and my father rushing into the room with tears streaming down his face as his son’s dreams had just been realized.
It had just been announced on TV I had been drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles.
And I won’t forget two years later, that same man — and my brother receiving a call. And him being drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs.
This time the tears streaming down both my father’s and my face, as my brother had just realized his own.”
