Jason Kelce looks noticeably slimmer at Philadelphia Eagles practice following NFL retirement

PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA: Jason Kelce was recently spotted at the Philadelphia Eagles practice and he appeared to have shed a noticeable amount of weight.

The former football center was in black basketball shorts and leggings that he paired with a green T-shirt and a sun hat, as per a clip shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday, August 5.

Jason Kelce revealed he's 'trying to get down to 250, 260 pounds'

Jason Kelce's weight loss journey seems to be going steady as his core and lower body appear slimmer in the video.  

On his 'New Heights' podcast, he shared with his younger brother, Travis Kelce, and guest, Arnold Schwarzenegger, "I’m retired. I played my whole career 295 [pounds]. I’m trying to get down to 250, 260. My goal is two pounds every week, lose it."

Jason mentioned, "I want to lose it, but maintain my muscle mass. I’m trying to monitor my protein, my carbs, my fats, make sure that I’m hitting at least one pound per body weight."  

Then Schwarzenegger advised him to "slowly decrease the body fat and increase the body muscles. You just switch. It doesn’t just have to do with the weight."

Jason noted, "There are different ways to do this. I personally don’t subscribe to doing extreme diets like going all the way vegan or all the way carnivore or keto,” before asserting, "F**k no, I’m not doing that." 

In March, the 36-year-old announced his retirement after spending 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles. 

Jason Kelce clarified he does not 'want to get too small'

In June, the father-of-three spoke with GQ about his weight loss goals. 

Jason said, "As far as the weight is concerned, I weighed 295 for the majority of my NFL career, and I look forward to losing some of those pounds. I don't want to get too small."

He added, "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." 

Jason further mentioned, "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. But I’ll still be able to have that stature a little bit. Right now, I'm about 277. I'm almost 20 pounds down right now."

"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. So another 20 pounds hopefully will make that much more adept at playing with my children," mentioned the NFL star.

In the same interview, Jason also shared his thoughts on retirement.

He remarked, "I’ve had a twice-reconstructed right knee, a surgery on my hand, my groin. I’ve broken toes. So I'm leaving the game with those scars, but for all intents and purposes, I can play with my kids. I am still able to fully enjoy life, which I consider a blessing whether you played in the NFL or not."
