After making it to the Super Bowl and giving the Kansas City Chiefs all they could handle in the season before last, the Philadelphia Eagles were thought to be the team to beat coming into the 2023 campaign, as they had all the tools to be a legitimate title contender.
Unfortunately for Philadelphia, even though they had a solid start to the season, the Eagles fell apart in the second half, leading to an epic collapse in the first round of the NFL playoffs against Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
With the Eagles heading into the NFL offseason devastated and seemingly in shambles, many believed there would be some drastic changes from the coaching staff to the players on the field, and they were not wrong.
Although head coach Nick Sirianni was able to keep his job, the team lost one of its best players and undisputed leaders in the locker room, longtime center Jason Kelce, who called it a career.
Despite Kelce struggling with the decision to retire over the past couple of years, he seems to be having a lot of fun in his post-playing career, as he is currently participating in the American Century Championship with tons of current and former professional athletes and showed his passion for winning after hitting an impressive putt from distance via Golf Channel.

Unfortunately for Kelce, winning the American Century Championship seems far from a reality this year as only a few others are doing worse than he is, with Mike Golic, Miles Teller, Alex Rodriguez, Dylan Dreyer and Brett Baier behind him on the leaderboard.
Although Kelce may not be an exceptional golfer like some of his peers like Tony Romo, Adam Thielen and Derek Carr, he’s having fun and enjoying life away from football.
