ESPN made a significant announcement on Monday with a major addition to their Monday Night Football coverage. The announcement had to do with Philadelphia Eagles legendary center Jason Kelce.
Andrew Marchand of The Athletic reported that Jason Kelce, a future Hall-of-Famer and iconic center from the Philadelphia Eagles, will be joining the “Monday Night Countdown” crew alongside host Scott Van Pelt for the upcoming season.
Despite interest from multiple networks, ESPN successfully secured Kelce for their team.
This acquisition marks a pivotal moment for ESPN’s coverage.
Known for his captivating personality, as showcased on the New Heights podcast with his brother, Kelce is set to bring a wealth of experience to the show.
Regarded as one of the finest centers in NFL history and a standout player for the Philadelphia Eagles, Kelce’s illustrious career includes seven Pro Bowl selections and six All-Pro honors. Remarkably, he started every one of his 193 career games since being drafted in the sixth round in 2011.
Kelce’s journey from a lower-conference school like Cincinnati and being a late-round draft pick reflects his exceptional drive to become one of the premier anchors on the offensive line in the league.
With the possibility of pairing Kelce with other esteemed analysts like Larry Fitzgerald and former quarterback Dan Orlovsky, ESPN’s lineup could reach its peak.
In any case, securing Kelce is undoubtedly a game-changing move for ESPN, and fans can anticipate an exciting Monday night experience this fall.
