Not so long ago, not many people were familiar with Jason Kelce, not even those within the Philadelphia Eagles organization.
He was far from considered an elite talent, and it took almost six rounds and a full 190 picks before he finally made it to the league.
As a matter of fact, they were so unfamiliar with him that the Eagles didn’t even spell his name right when they got him.
In the latest edition of their “New Heights” podcast, Travis showed his older brother Jason that now-infamous tweet in which they called him “Jason Kelsey.”

Travis added that they definitely know how to spell their name right now, adding that it should be in their stadium pretty soon because he’s the greatest player in franchise history.
Needless to say, he’s a little biased, and while he’s definitely up there with the best of the best, not even himself believes he should sit at the No. 1 spot.
Kelce stated that he wasn’t even the best Eagle of his time with the organization, praising the likes of Fletcher Cox, Lane Johnson, and Jason Peters as better players than him.
Granted, but Kelce is still considered one of the best — if not the best — centers in league history.
He spent his entire 13-year career with the organization, earning six All-Pro first-team selections, seven Pro-Bowl nods, and helping them win a Super Bowl.
So, while he may or may not be considered the best in franchise history, he definitely deserves to be among the all-time greats.
