After announcing his retirement on Monday, Jason Kelce is heading home.
On Tuesday, Jason and Travis Kelce will be honored with a bobblehead doll giveaway when the Cleveland Cavaliers host the Boston Celtics at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. The Kelce brothers are both natives of Cleveland Heights, Ohio, and went on to spend their college careers at the University of Cincinnati before embarking on their respective Hall of Fame-caliber NFL careers.
All attendees of Tuesday night’s game will have the opportunity to receive the two-person bobblehead doll, which features Jason and Travis wearing black Cavs jerseys featuring their signature NFL numbers (No. 62 for Jason, No. 87 for Travis). Additionally, the Cavs’ Team Shop will be selling exclusive Kelce-Cavs merchandise, with a portion of the proceeds being donated to Heights Schools Foundation Initiatives.
According to Cleveland NBC affiliate WKYC, both Jason and Travis are expected to be in attendance for Tuesday night’s game.

The celebration of the Kelce brothers comes one day after Jason announced his retirement following 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles. Laying claim to six first-team All-Pro, seven Pro Bowl selections and a Super Bowl title, Jason is considered a future Hall of Famer, as is Travis, who has become one of the most decorated tight ends in NFL history throughout his 11-year career with the Kansas City Chiefs.
