Remembering timeless Eagles great Jason Kelce

PHILADELPHIA, PA — Jason Kelce was far more than a beard and beer belly. He was far more than a center for the Philadelphia Eagles the past 13 seasons. His impact carried far beyond the anonymity NFL offensive linemen usually have. When you have countless fans wearing your No. 62 around the Philadelphia area and throughout the country, when your retirement announcement on YouTube generates more than a half-million hits, is simulcast live across three major local radio networks, across three local major TV networks, including the NFL Network nationally, you are a head of state with an imprint beyond just a guy in a helmet saying goodbye to the game you love.
