Jason Kelce To Join 'Monday Night Countdown:' ESPN

PHILADELPHIA — After announcing his retirement from the NFL in March, Jason Kelce has found a new job: commentating on ESPN's "Monday Night Countdown."

ESPN signed the legendary Philadelphia Eagles center to a multi-year agreement, adding him as a personality on the network's Monday Night Football pre-game coverage.

The 13-year NFL veteran will be on Monday Night Countdown each week from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., leading into Monday Night Football throughout the regular season, as well as ESPN’s Super Wild Card and Divisional Round playoff games.

On Monday Night Countdown, Kelce will join Scott Van Pelt, Ryan Clark, and Marcus Spears. The three former players, collectively, played more than 30 seasons in the NFL, with multiple Super Bowls won and a multitude of honors.

"Turns out, it was a short retirement," Kelce said in ESPN's announcement. "I’m excited to join ESPN, and particularly the Monday Night Countdown team. ESPN was a consistent presence in our household growing up and the network helped shape who I am and my love of all sports. To now appear on that same screen is a full circle moment. And, I mean it’s freaking Monday Night Football! and I’m ready for some football."

Each Monday Night Football and ESPN playoff game, Kelce will join Van Pelt and Clark during halftime.

The six-time NFL All-Pro will also become a member of ESPN’s Super Bowl studio coverage each year, including Super Bowl LXI in Los Angeles, when America’s Biggest Game airs on ESPN and ABC.

More postseason studio appearances will occur annually, including during the NFL’s Conference Championship weekend.
