$100 Million Podcast Deal

In 2022, the Kelce brothers launched a podcast titled “New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce,” which airs weekly.

This deal grants Wondery the rights to distribute and sell advertising for their well-received podcast.

Early Life and High School

Born on November 5, 1987, in Westlake, Ohio, Jason Kelce was raised in Cleveland Heights by his parents, Donna, who worked as a banker, and Ed, a sales representative in the steel industry. His younger brother, Travis Kelce, also pursued a career as a professional football player and gained international fame for his relationship with Taylor Swift. As a teenager, Jason attended Cleveland Heights High School, where he played as both a running back and linebacker on the football team. Additionally, he engaged in hockey and played baritone saxophone in the school’s jazz and symphonic bands.

College Career

Jason attended the University of Cincinnati to compete as a football player for the Bearcats. After redshirting his freshman year, he participated in nine games in 2007 when Cincinnati achieved a 10-3 record. The following year, the team, now 11-3, became Big East champions. The pinnacle of Kelce’s college career came in 2009 when the Bearcats completed the regular season undefeated and again claimed the Big East title. However, his senior season in 2010 saw the team struggle with a 4-8 record under new head coach Butch Jones.

Philadelphia Eagles

Kelce was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the sixth round of the 2011 NFL Draft. He made his debut as the starter in the third preseason game against the Cleveland Browns and went on to play as the starting center for the Eagles’ regular season that September. Remarkably, he became the first rookie in the franchise’s history to start all 16 games at center. He was again named the starting center in 2012, though he faced significant setbacks due to MCL and ACL injuries that limited his play during the season. Kelce rebounded for a standout 2013 season, starting all 16 games and contributing to the Eagles’ playoff run, during which the team set records for 442 points and 6,676 yards. In early 2014, he extended his contract with the Eagles for six years and $37.5 million. This set the stage for his first Pro Bowl selection later that season, followed by a second selection in 2016.

In 2017, Kelce experienced his best professional season to date, starting in all 16 games and gaining recognition as a first-team All-Pro. He played a pivotal role in securing the Eagles’ victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII, marking the team’s first Super Bowl title in its history. In 2018, he received his second first-team All-Pro selection, followed by a third in 2019. That same year, he signed a one-year contract extension with the Eagles. The next season, Kelce achieved the milestone of starting his 100^th-consecutive game for the Eagles and was chosen for his fourth Pro Bowl. In 2021, he earned his fifth Pro Bowl selection and garnered first-team All-Pro honors for the fourth occasion. After considering retirement in 2022, Kelce opted to sign a new one-year contract with the Eagles. This season turned out to be excellent, culminating in a Super Bowl LVII matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, where his brother Travis played. This was the first Super Bowl in history to feature two brothers on opposing teams, although the Chiefs ultimately emerged as champions.

Other Media Appearances

Outside of football, Kelce has made appearances on various television shows and podcasts. In 2018, he and his Eagles teammate Beau Allen took part in a Super Bowl-themed episode of the sitcom “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.” Following his matchup against his brother in Super Bowl LVII in early 2023, Kelce appeared in a sketch alongside Travis on “Saturday Night Live.”

Kelce has ventured into music as well, recording an album. In 2022, he and fellow Eagles offensive linemen Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata launched “A Philly Special Christmas,” named in honor of the “Philly Special” trick play that helped the Eagles secure their Super Bowl LII victory. The album features covers of beloved Christmas classics, alongside duets with several other players. Proceeds from the album benefited the Children’s Crisis Treatment Center in Philadelphia.

Personal Life

Kelce married Kylie McDevitt in the spring of 2018, a relationship that began through an online dating app. They are parents to three daughters named Wyatt, Elliotte, and Bennett.
