Ex-Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce's documentary 'Kelce' clinches double Emmy nominations, Internet says 'he deserves it'

PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA: Former Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce has soared to new heights post-retirement. The news of his documentary 'Kelce' scoring two Emmy nominations has spread like wildfire on the internet.

Social media users expressed their delight by showering Jason with praise and wishes to clinch the awards following the nominations.

The former Eagles center is venturing into completely alien territories from his former profession after retirement. Recently, he jumped into the WWE ring and made his WrestleMania 40 debut with Eagles tackle Lane Johnson to assist WWE veteran Rey Mysterio in winning the fight against his son, Dominik Mysterio.

Jason dramatically entered the ring with a mask to conceal his identity. However, upon securing the victory Jason did a face reveal upon which the commentator, Michael Cole introduced him as "Isn't that what's her name's brother-in-law?" referring to the former NFL player as singer Taylor Swift's brother-in-law, citing the singer's blossoming romance with Jason's brother, Travis Kelce.
