Jason Kelce’s emotional words about Travis Kelce reveal a deeper side of their famous NFL brotherly rivalry fans rarely see
That feeling was clear after Super Bowl LVII in 2023. The Eagles lost 38-35 to the Chiefs, giving Travis his second Super Bowl title while Jason walked away without another championship. Because i feel like I’ve maximized what I’ve been given and what I’ve been dealt, there’s no resentment.
Speaking on Youth Inc. with Greg Olsen, the former Philadelphia Eagles center said he feels proud of what his younger brother has achieved and believes their relationship helped both of them become better people. “I think we’ve both been very successful,” Jason said on Youth Inc. Still, when the brothers met on the field after the game, Jason hugged Travis and told him to celebrate with his teammates.
Jason Kelce has made it clear that he has never felt jealous of Travis Kelce ’s success. Jason also pointed to their Super Bowl LVII meeting as proof that even a painful loss could not change how he felt about Travis. “So, I don’t think that there’s ever been a moment where, like, he can have as much success as he wants in life, and I will be nothing but happy.
He spent all 13 NFL seasons with Philadelphia, earned seven Pro Bowl selections and six first-team All-Pro honors, and helped the Eagles win Super Bowl LII. He retired in March 2024. Reuters also confirmed his retirement after 13 seasons and noted his seven Pro Bowl selections and six first-team All-Pro honors. He returned for his 14th NFL season in 2026 after signing a new one-year deal with the Chiefs.
The NFL confirmed that return in March.
“Unquestionably, you realize growing up how much stronger you are because of your brother and parents and the people that you’ve allowed close to you in your lives,” Jason said. “And for Trav and I, I don’t think there’s anybody that’s influenced either one of us as people more than each other.” Jason’s own career gives him plenty to be proud of. Travis has built his own impressive career with Kansas City.
