Eli Manning is ready for Jason Kelce to take center stage.
The former New York Giants quarterback, who cohosts NFL commentary show Manningcast, with brother Peyton Manning, recently shared his thoughts on the former Philadelphia Eagles center transitioning into football commentary.
“Jason Kelce bringing his personality—who knows what he might say,” Eli told E! News in an exclusive interview. “And that’s the exciting point.”
Indeed, Jason is known for his hot takes, often shared on his and brother Travis Kelce’s podcast New Heights or on social media. But beyond his takes, Eli noted that Jason’s background as a lineman will bring fresh perspective to ESPN’s flagship Monday Night Countdown this fall.
As Eli put it, Jason is “a guy who knows the ins and outs of being in the offensive line and what happens in there.”
In fact, the 43-year-old admitted that Jason may even have a leg up over him and his fellow quarterback brother in that regard.
“Not everybody knows,” he said of the mystery within the field position—which also includes left and right tackles and guards. “I don’t even know. So it’ll be good to hear his take on that.”
