Throughout their entire NFL careers, brothers Travis and Jason Kelce have been each other’s biggest fans. That remained true on the final day of Jason’s NFL career.
The legendary Eagles center announced his retirement on Monday in Philadelphia after 13 seasons and one Super Bowl title. While Jason immediately broke down in tears as he made his way to the podium, he wasn’t alone. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end was also in tears as he watched his brother look back at a Hall of Fame career.
Just as Jason supported Travis during the Chiefs’ Super Bowl run, Travis was front row to support Jason in his retirement announcement.

Between the New Heights podcast, Amazon documentary and what we’ve seen during games, much of the Kelce brothers’ relationship has been in the public eye. But it’s all genuine and relatable. Fans understandably loved how Travis was there to support his brother.
This was how Twitter reacted
I’m crying too, @tkelce. @JasonKelce’s speech and the show of emotion without trying to hide it is truly an example of someone for young men to look up to.
Thanks Momma Kelce for raising two young men, in touch with with their emotions and shining role models. ❤️ https://t.co/UaXcVe11Ya
