Since hanging up his cleats after 13 remarkable seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, Jason Kelce has shown no signs of slowing down.
The Super Bowl champion, widely regarded as one of the best centers in NFL history, has seamlessly transitioned into broadcasting.

Kelce‘s post-retirement journey led him straight into the spotlight with ESPN, where he signed a lucrative three-year, $24 million contract.
As part of the network’s high-profile revamp of Monday Night Countdown, Kelce joined forces with respected names such as Scott Van Pelt, Ryan Clark and Marcus Spears. But that wasn’t the only project that showcased his magnetic personality.

ESPN handed the 37-year-old his own show, They Call It Late Night with Jason Kelce, marking the network’s first foray into late-night sports entertainment.
With a mix of humor, authenticity, and insight, Kelce‘s transition from the gridiron to the broadcast stage was so smooth that it earned him a solo Sports Emmy nomination for Outstanding Emerging On-Air Talent.
His podcast, New Heights, which he co-hosts with younger brother and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, wasted no time in celebrating the milestone.
“Gotta add Emmy nominee to your resume now Congrats @jasonkelce,” the show posted on X.
Saban takes the trophy
Though it was Jason Kelce‘s third Sports Emmy nomination overall-his previous two came from the Amazon Prime documentary Kelce-this marked his first nod as an on-air personality.
The category was fiercely competitive, featuring legends of both the football field and broadcasting stage.
Kelce was up against an elite group of newcomers, including Alabama coaching icon Nick Saban for his work on ESPN’s College GameDay, former Villanova head coach Jay Wright for his analysis on CBS and TNT, and NFL alumni Ryan Fitzpatrick and Richard Sherman, who contribute to Prime’s Thursday Night Football.
Ultimately, the trophy went to Saban, who has impressed viewers with his seamless transition into college football commentary.
Though Kelce didn’t take home the award, the nomination alone signals a bright future in broadcasting.
With New Heights dominating podcast charts and the Golden Globes announcing a new “Best Podcast” category, Kelce may still have another trophy in his future-one just as shiny as a Lombardi.
