Kelce leaves quite a legacy behind in Philadelphia. And not just the seven Pro Bowls and six All-Pro selections. Or even the Super Bowl 52 title. He leaves the game as one of the most popular players in Eagles history and a likely first-ballot Hall of Famer.
"I love him," Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said after the playoff loss. " … He's one of the most special guys I've been around."
Quarterback Jalen Hurts called Kelce a "legend in the city, and really in this league."
A sixth-round draft pick out of the University of Cincinnati in 2011, Kelce started for the Eagles from Day 1 – eventually playing in 193 games over his 13 seasons.
He made his first Pro Bowl in 2014 and was named All-Pro in six of the past seven seasons.
