On the July 2 episode of the New Heights podcast, former NFL star Jason Kelce shared a lighthearted moment with his brother Travis Kelce regarding his ongoing weight loss journey. Jason, who recently retired after a 13-year career as the Philadelphia Eagles center, had previously stated his goal of slimming down from 300 pounds to around 250 pounds. His transformation has become a regular topic of conversation on their podcast, where the brothers often blend humor with personal updates.

During the podcast, Jason decided to try on his old University of Cincinnati football jersey—number 60—a nod to his college playing days. Travis teased him about fitting into the jersey with ease, joking, “This is what happens when you lose a little weight, guys.”

Jason, clearly amused, asked how he looked in the old uniform, prompting a string of humorous observations from Travis about how his brother’s new physique no longer suits the lineman number.

Travis poked fun at Jason’s slimmed-down appearance, saying the number 60 didn’t flatter him anymore and joking that he now resembled a long snapper. Jason played along with the joke, suggesting he might switch to his old linebacker number, 48, which he claimed looked more appropriate for his current build. The banter highlighted not only Jason’s noticeable weight loss but also the brothers’ quick wit and comedic chemistry.

The discussion soon evolved into a comical reassessment of where Jason’s new body type would fit on the football field. Travis suggested that Jason now looked more like someone in the 40s-number range—a nod to positions usually held by smaller or more agile players. The brothers exchanged lighthearted jabs, each playing into the absurdity of redefining Jason’s football identity based on his new size.

Despite the jokes, Jason admitted with mock disappointment that the whole exchange was “so depressing,” underscoring the bittersweet reality of life after professional football. Still, the conversation reflected how he and Travis use humor and brotherly support to navigate major life transitions.

Whether poking fun at each other’s appearances or reminiscing about their football past, the Kelce brothers continue to entertain fans while staying grounded in their close-knit bond.
