Jason Kelce As Monday Night Football Broadcaster? ESPN In Pursuit

One of the greatest centers in NFL history might have a new challenge ahead. Former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce is being pursued by ESPN for a spot on the Monday Night Football panel, according to multiple reports.

The future Hall of Fame center officially hung up his cleats earlier this month, announcing his retirement in an emotional press conference.

Based on a report from The Athletic's Andrew Marchand , ESPN is targeting Kelce and suggests that Robert Griffin III's spot could be in jeopardy.

Last year's Monday night pregame show featured host Scott Van Pelt with Ryan Clark, Marcus Spears, Adam Schefter, Michelle Beisner-Buck and Griffin.

Also interested in the seven-time Pro Bowler Kelce are NBC, CBS and Amazon Prime Video.

ESPN has historically invested heavily in its Monday Night Football product, including bringing over Joe Buck and Troy Aikman to shore up the booth before the 2022 season.

Kelce’s big personality, expansive football knowledge and growing fame (brother Travis Kelce is dating Taylor Swift, in case you live under a rock ) make him a hot commodity in sports media.

Kelce figures to make a quick transition to the football media world. His podcast, "New Heights," which he hosts with his brother, is one of the most popular shows on the internet. His lively personality, charisma, and standing as one of the most respected figures in the NFL make him an easy choice for any media giant going big-game hunting ahead of the 2024 season.
