With the Philadelphia Eagles' tush push play at the goal line of potentially being banned, the club called an audible, inviting seven-time Pro Bowl selection Jason Kelce to the annual spring meetings in Minnesota to lobby against the ban proposal.
Evidently, Kelce's presence helped give the Eagles the push they needed, as the NFL ultimately voted not to ban the play. And, as it turns out, Kelce was not just lobbying against the play's potential banning at the meeting. The former Eagles center was also setting the record straight on claims from mutliple NFL owners that he stepped away from pro football due to "wear and tear" from the tush push. Kelce in March of 2024 announced his retirement after 13 NFL seasons.
