Jill Biden congratulates Jason Kelce on his retirement
Jill Biden is among the Philadelphia Eagles mega-fans lauding Jason Kelce following the longtime center’s retirement announcement.
“Congratulations on a legendary career,” the first lady said in a Monday post on social media.
Biden’s celebratory message came just hours after a teary-eyed Kelce announced his NFL retirement during a news conference. The 36-year-old Super Bowl LII champion played his entire 13-year career for the Eagles.
“I have been the underdog my entire career,” Kelce said during his announcement. “And I mean it when I say it: I wish I still was.”
Biden, who grew up in Philadelphia’s suburbs, is known as a die-hard Eagles fan.
Last year, the first lady sported a custom Eagles jersey as her hometown team prepared to face off against the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl.
