He's always there or thereabouts. He's he's his name's Jason Kelsey as a center for the Eagles How good would it be to have two brothers? different positions Same side of the field Balling out just as good as each other Travis Kelsey is his younger brother I'm lead to believe and he will be on the list within the I'm gonna say the top 20 Jason elder brother, you know, he's probably he's probably taught him a few lessons over the years Be that on the field or off the field either way The big man big Jase Jason Kelsey comes in at number 71 on the list and let's get into it Now what I was saying before is I don't know what the hell is going on in this video I don't know if it's snapchat Instagram live or a TikTok But I'm actually gonna say it looks like a beer keg. What do you do if your coach sends you a keg to entice you not to retire? Well, you have a drink your Eagles center Jason Kelsey you tap it take a swig and give Philly fans the answer They were hoping for He's been sent a keg as a gift as a As a bribe and it seems it worked But I'm definitely not retiring from playing for the Philadelphia Eagles I'm having way too much fun doing that. We're happy you're back It was all my What was he considering retirement? Man, you know what? I should have said I should have said he was 92 that came to mind That would have been a real a real brownie point with you guys, but oh Well, it is what it is. Let's have a look at some stats I've got this up on screen now, so Jason Kelsey he's a veteran November 5th 1987 he's cut his hair unfortunately age 34 6 foot 3 295 odd pounds. Let's say 300 300 after a good meal probably 3 10 at the end of a night I got picked up in the sixth round with pick number one 191 in the 2011 draft went to Cincinnati College He's been at the Eagles ever since he came into the league He's a Super Bowl champion He's a four-time first-team all-pro participant a five-time pro bowler including last year and Well the list goes on and on he moves he moves for a big fella 4.89 clocked at the 40 yard dash a vertical of 30 and a half inches and a broad jump of 9 foot 2 now really all I Okay, this Okay, this is underwhelming. I feel like I've been here before I Have been here before Let's just have a wee read of what happened last year on the verge of retirement Apparently on March 5th prior 2021 prior to the last season he signed a new deal with the Philadelphia Eagles Went in for the team's first offensive snap then was bench for the rest of the game. Oh To keep his consecutive start streak alive, I do remember something about that So he was placed on COVID list on January 3rd and activated four days later Allowing him to keep his consecutive start streak alive. So they put a guy that was positive with COVID on the field Well, it was worth it He went on for the team's first offensive snap then was bench for the rest of the game in 2021 he was selected to his fifth Pro Bowl Marking his third straight selection and was the Eagles finalist for the Walter Payton Man of the Year award He's also named a first-team all-pro by the Associated Press for the fourth time in his career on March 11th this year Just a short three months ago Actually make it five months after mulling retirement before the 2022 offseason He signed a new one-year deal with the Eagles with 14 million dollars Which made him the highest paid center in the NFL. All right then mate Welcome back Go birds That's good to know to me. I think this this lad in his career I think he's more I'm one of those crafty veteran Vita. They chuck him in at running back mate guys While a lot has changed for Jason Kelsey over his 11-year career one thing remains a constant The ears when the game kicks off Kelsey will be in the starting line Hey, mate, how's the ride? Should be oh, there's a few but they stay out on the street Minute all right all right all right well that was a nice we visit from the old man a couple of hours of the best caught up on some things and Dropped him at the pub We're back we're back to continue with Jason Kelsey number 71 on the list Let's go thing remains a constant when the game kicks off Kelsey will be in the starting lineup 122 consecutive games started That's like seven and a half years consistency. He's always out there. He's playing all the time As a center, you know, obviously he's the head of the old line making the calls getting everyone on the right page You got a lot on your plate, but I think he does a good job Kelsey was the centerpiece of an Eagles offensive line that paved the way for the league's Tell you what he's definitely got some pace So many good things in the run game is because of Jason Kelsey in the middle He is a great center and not only physical at the point of attack with this ability to get to the second level and to block Safety's to block linebackers. Oh my gosh line them up and they'll knock them down Or block them down That was three guys in the exact He is a great center and not only physical at the point of attack with this ability to get to the second level and to block safety's to block linebackers And you smart guy well, I'll call it two and a half I knows what to do and how to get there and he's efficient at what he does Kelsey he's as good as center as the NFL's had in the last day. Oh, that is that is who you want to be running behind Seriously, that you know the way that he rounds the the turn and just looks for that blocker It's like right mate your mind and you ain't gonna touch the running back if it's the last thing I do Jason Kelsey does an outstanding job of creating space He's one of the fastest Offense alignment centers. It doesn't matter like he's one of the fastest there are out there Definitely is get off. I mean You got to make sure you got your cleats tied up, right? He won the most athletic. Oh, get behind him. Get behind him. You know that you know the man to run behind Oh Tell you what Kelsey actually wanted Kelsey Kelsey was disappointed with that. I'm gonna lie even we don't hang it a lie He wanted his running back to cut cut back on the inside cut back on the left Probably would have still got tackled, but you know Kelsey wanted some more yards Running some of us so hey, you're not usually seeing office alignment. I run a defense mom Kelsey Outstanding job of continuing to work up the field not saying he can beat me in race But he might beat me in a race though you get Jason Kelsey out in front of you for good things are gonna happen for you Absolutely, that's the thing you get him out in front good things are gonna happen He's been playing at a high level for a long time.
