Most NFL centers are anonymous and generally stay out of the public eye. Most NFL centers are not Jason Kelce, a likely future Hall of Famer for the Philadelphia Eagles. He is an industrial magnet of charisma, personality, and leadership. He also happens to be an All-Pro-caliber player to boot.
In a new video from Amazon Prime’s Kelce — a show that was supposed to document the final year of Kelce’s professional football career — we’re reminded just how Kelce means to Philadelphia.
The clip features Kelce and the rest of the Eagles in a conference room before last February’s Super Bowl 57 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. And predictably, Kelce absolutely pours his heart out to his teammates, trying to channel the proper emotional energy for one of the biggest moments in their football lives.
This Jason Kelce pregame speech goes HARD 🔥

Phew. I’m getting goosebumps just watching Kelce speak from the heart as the room falls silent. You could probably literally hear a pin drop as Kelce speaks. We have yet another example of why he’ll be remembered as an Eagles legend.
This was how Twitter reacted to Kelce's Super Bowl 57 pregame speech

The Kelce documentary was incredible. Jason is an absolute legend on and off the field. One of the greatest Eagles of all time! The day he retires will be a sad day for Birds fans everywhere! #FlyEaglesFly https://t.co/EpS09MpKmo

Passion. Energy. This is the type of leadership I want to see out of the Giants roster and captains. Didn't see it anywhere on broadcast this past weekend.
It better be there this week as they prep for Arizona and San Fran right after. https://t.co/jyaaEUGLjq
