The Philadelphia Eagles lost one of their greatest players ever, but the fans will still get to watch him on ESPN.
Jason Kelce couldn’t stay away from the game for long, and he will serve as an analyst for the network.
Needless to say, that requires plenty of hard work.
With that in mind, former NFL player Chris Long asked him about his biggest fear with his new role (via Green Light with Chris Long).

Kelce jokingly admitted that swearing was definitely near the top of the list.
Moreover, he wants to make sure that he does a reputable job out there.
He doesn’t want to be unprepared and believes that he owes it to everybody to be truly on top of everything that’s going on.
Kelce will join a long list of former players pursuing a career on the big screen after thriving on the gridiron, so he has plenty of people to reach out to and pick their brains ahead of this transition.
He’s a well-known and respected figure in NFL circles, and he clearly knows what he’s talking about, as he was actually there in the trenches for more than a decade.
Given the way he’s fared with his podcast, it seems pretty obvious that he’s a natural.
Of course, everybody needs to go through a learning curve and an adjustment period, and he won’t be the exception to that rule, but there’s no reason to believe he won’t do an outstanding job in this new role.
