This past season, Kelce allowed only one sack in 17 games earning him his fourth All-Pro selection and fifth selection to the Pro-Bowl.
“I’m definitely not retiring from playing for the Philadelphia Eagles,” Kelce said in an announcement video on the Eagles social media. “I’m having way too much fun doing that. I’m looking forward to another year, Philadelphia. And to all my teammates, let’s go dominate.”
The center selected in the sixth round of the 2011 NFL Draft will continue his journey in the league and extend his streak of 122 consecutive regular-season games played, which no Eagles center has done. In addition, with 10 more regular-season games, he would set a new franchise record for games played for offensive linemen. Kelce is currently at 159 games played.
