Jason Kelce lost almost 20 pounds after retiring from the NFL. Now, he wants to lose another 20 more for his kids

Jason Kelce says he’s focusing on losing weight for the sake of his children.

In an interview with GQ published last Wednesday, the former Philadelphia Eagles center spoke about how he’s staying healthy in retirement.

Kelce said he’s “almost 20 pounds down right now” since retiring from the NFL in March and aims to lose another 20.

“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,” Kelce told GQ. “So another 20 pounds hopefully will make that much more adept at playing with my children

Kelce has three daughters with his wife, Kylie Kelce.

He shared that he weighed 295 pounds for most of his NFL career, and now weighs 277 pounds.

“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,” Kelce said.

He added that a weight range between 250 and 260 pounds felt the most suitable for him because it would help him retain his stature.

“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,” he said.
