Jason Kelce’s NFL retirement promises to be anything but dull. The seasoned Philadelphia Eagles center, bidding farewell after an illustrious 13-season career and a triumphant Super Bowl victory with the Eagles, recently found himself presented with an intriguing proposition from edged weapon combat specialist Doug Marcaida.
Marcaida, known for his role as a judge on the History Channel’s “Forged in Fire,” extended an invitation to Jason and his sibling, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, offering to impart the skills of “master bladesmiths.”
This is the coolest thing ever, it would literally be a dream come true Doug! Even if it doesn’t Keel! But I definitely want it too https://t.co/TtZoZdz2TK

In response, Kelce expressed his enthusiasm, deeming the offer “the coolest thing ever” and a “dream come true.” He took to social media to convey his excitement, echoing his readiness for the potential endeavor.
Following warm congratulations on Kelce’s retirement, Marcaida invoked his catchphrase acronym “KEAL,” emphasizing the importance of using weapons to “Keep Everyone Alive.” He then playfully hinted at a potential showdown, inviting the Kelce brothers to test their mettle at the forge.
Kelce and his brother have jointly hosted the “New Heights” podcast since September 2022. With Kelce stepping into retirement, the stage seems set for him to further expand his presence in the media landscape, potentially starting with a foray into blade forging on the History Channel.
