Pro center Jason Kelce and the Philadelphia Eagles are no longer in the playoffs. They were eliminated by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night. But Kelce still found time to connect with one of his biggest fans. Danielle Bonham is a cashier at a McDonald’s in Broomall, Pennsylvania, and she has served Kelce on several previous occasions. On January 16, the Eagles star showed her favorite cashier some love by bringing her a signed jersey.
“He motivated me when I didn’t have much motivation. I know he’s done that for a lot of people,” Bonham told Fox on Tuesday, January 16. “I will always be grateful and very fortunate to have crossed paths with him as many times as I have, and I wish him nothing but the best.”
Kelce refutes retirement claims
Kelce has been in the headlines a lot this week, following the Eagles’ loss. ESPN NFL analyst Adam Schefter reported that Kelce told his teammates that he planned to retire after the game. On the latest episode of New Heights, a podcast hosted by the center and his brother Travis, Kelce vehemently denied those claims.
“I just don’t think you’re in a position after a game like that to really, you know, make that decision. I just don’t do it. There is too much emotion in the moment. There is too much going on right now to fully understand that decision,” Jason said.
“I’m not trying to be dramatic to keep dragging this out. I’m not really.”
Kelce has considered retirement “for years”
While Kelce has yet to officially announce his retirement from the NFL, it’s not like that thought hasn’t crossed the Eagles star’s mind. Kelce starred in an Amazon Prime documentary last year that documents his life off the field. In the documentary, his wife Kylie revealed that the Pro Bowl center has considered retiring “for years.”
“I don’t think people realize that the beating you’re taking affects the way you interact with your family,” he said.
“I always tell people, no matter what happens with football, how it ends, I would like him to retire when he can still get on the field and play comfortably with our children.”
