Jason Kelce is closing in on Brian Dawkins as the most beloved Eagles ever, and when it's all said and done, Kelce will be in the Dawkins, Allen Iverson, Chase Utley class of greatest Philadelphia athletes ever.
Kelce's speech he gave to his team on episode 6 of Unscripted Inside: 2021 Eagles Season will give you chills, as the Eagles' All-Pro center passionately explains to his teammates why they can beat anyone.
"Everyone here is here for a f****** reason," Kelce said around the 19:00 mark of the video. "All of you have talent! All of you add value to this organization. I have seen this s**t grow. When we play our game, nobody can f*** with us! I promise you! It ain't about them, it's about us."
Kelce, 34, was nominated as the Eagles' representative for the NFL's Walter Payton Man of the Year award and just a couple of weeks ago broke down when discussing the honor, specifically mentioning his friend and teammate Lane Johnson, who has fought through mental health challenges this season.
On the field, Kelce continues to dominate, anchoring one of the NFL's best offensive line units and league's most dominant rushing attacks.
Kelce was recently named to his fifth Pro Bowl and will likely be named to his fourth first-team All-Pro selection this season. Add in his Super Bowl ring and unforgettable parade speech, the sixth-round pick by the Eagles in 2011 out of Cincinnati has become a legendary Philadelphia athlete.
