Jason Kelce all smiles with brother Travis after Cavaliers’ tribute video for him following emotional retirement

The Cleveland Cavaliers found a nice way to pay tribute to Jason Kelce, who recently announced his retirement from football after a 13-year-long career. The Philadelphia Eagles center announced his retirement decision on Monday and the Cavalries left no stone unturned to make a tribute to Jason, who attended the Cavaliers’ game on Tuesday with his brother Travis Kelce.

Ahead of their NBA game against the Celtics, the team decided to play some of the moments of Kelce’s life on the big screen. The video started with his humble beginnings in Cleveland Heights. It depicted some memorable moments from his childhood.

Later, the video showed his days with the Philadelphia-based football team. Furthermore, the video also showed his Super Bowl-winning moment and moved on to Kelce giving a fiery speech during the 2018 Super Bowl celebration.

In the end, the entire Cleveland Gallery gave a standing ovation to Jason Kelce, who seemed emotional. He was present with his brother Travis and both smiled at each other.

Kelce was born in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, and even played collegiate football for the Cincinnati Bearcats. In his 45-minute-long farewell speech on Monday, he remembered the place from where it all started.

After a long NFL career of 13 years, Kelce announced the end of his career on Monday. In his speech, the center thanked everyone for extending their support.

Travis Kelce became emotional at his brother Jason’s retirement press conference

During his retirement speech, Jason spoke about his struggle and family. He extensively talked about how he and his brother started their footballing life. The speech made younger Kelce emotional and he was seen in tears.

We have a small family. No cousins, one aunt, one uncle. It was really my brother and I our whole lives. We did almost everything together — competed, fought, laughed, cried and learned from each other.

Jason Kelce said

This made Travis emotional as he was seen balling his eyes out. The two brothers have established a legacy in the league. From the next season onwards, the TE has to carry on the legacy alone.
