It’s not uncommon for NFL players to play above their natural weight throughout their playing careers, and it seems that was the case for Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce.
During a recent interview with GQ Magazine, Jason Kelce opened up about his weight loss since his retirement, revealing that he has already lost about 20 pounds and hopes to lose about 20 more.
“As far as the weight is concerned, I weighed 295 for the majority of my NFL career, and I look forward to losing some of those pounds,” Kelce said. “I don’t want to get too small. I think a lot of guys, especially offensive linemen, they lose too much weight, and then they look like bobbleheads because their neck gets so small, but their head stays the same size. So for me, I feel like for some reason, 250 to 260 feels like I’ll be still big and be happy with the way I look without having a six-pack. But I’ll still be able to have that stature a little bit. Right now, I’m about 277. I’m almost 20 pounds down right now. It’s hard to imagine another nearly 20 pounds coming off, being honest with you. But my back already feels better. My knees already feel better. So another 20 pounds hopefully will make that much more adept at playing with my children.”
That’s obviously a shocking body transformation in just a few months for the longtime superstar center.
