Jason Kelce tells brother Travis his drastic weight loss has become 'depressing'

NFL legend Jason Kelce has admitted to younger brother and league superstar Travis Kelce that his drastic weight loss since hanging up his shoulder pads has become ‘depressing’. 

The elder Kelce brother retired from the NFL last March and has officially not played in an NFL game for close to 18 months. 

In his time since leaving active NFL duty behind, Kelce has tried to drop 50 pounds, from the average weight of an offensive lineman of around 300 pounds down to 250. 

The conundrum for the former Philadelphia Eagle with exists with Jason trying on his old college jersey, when he wore No 60 for Cincinnati.  

‘You’re going to squeeze in this thing? This is what happens when… you lose a little weight, guys. You can start squeezing into things a lot easier,’ Travis said on New Heights about the Bearcats’ jersey.

‘How do I look?’ Jason replied.

‘Dude, you got so thin that number 60 doesn’t look good on you anymore,’ Travis added. 

‘I know,’ Jason continued before as Travis stated, ‘That’s how thin you got.’

‘I look like a long snapper now,’ Jason said. ‘Do I go back to number 48, my linebacker numbers? Would that look better? That would even look more like a long snapper. 48’s a long snapper number.’ 

‘I think 40s are probably where you (are) right now,’ Travis lauded, with Jason coming back with ‘Where I would sit?’

‘Yeah, somewhere in the 40s,’ Travis concluded. 

‘So depressing,’ Jason said.

Jason has made a post-playing career in broadcasting as an NFL analyst for ESPN. Travis will begin his next NFL season in a few weeks for the Kansas City Chiefs.
