Jason Kelce Nervous for New NFL Analyst Job on ESPN
Philadelphia, PA – In a recent revelation, former Eagles center Jason Kelce has admitted to feeling nervous about his upcoming role as an NFL analyst on ESPN’s Monday Night Football. Kelce, who officially signed a multi-year deal with the network last month, is set to start his new gig this fall after retiring from a legendary career in the NFL.
“I’m nervous. And I think that’s good,” Kelce shared on the ‘Whiskey Ginger’ podcast with comedian Andrew Santino. “Every game I ever played in my life, that I played really well [in], I was nervous for, at least a healthy amount. Not like to the point where you think you can’t do it, but there’s a healthy amount of respect for your opponent.”
Kelce’s move to ESPN marks a significant transition from the gridiron to the TV screen. Despite his nerves, Kelce expressed excitement about the opportunity to work alongside talented individuals such as Scott Van Pelt, Marcus Spears, and Ryan Clark. His first game as an ESPN analyst will be on September 9, when the 49ers take on the Jets.
Having previously appeared as an analyst on Amazon Prime’s Thursday night broadcast, Kelce is no stranger to the world of broadcasting. Alongside his brother Travis, the Kelce brothers have discussed the “insane” opportunity that ESPN has presented for Jason, highlighting the significance of Monday Night Football in their sports fandom.
As Kelce prepares to embark on this new chapter in his career, fans and viewers can expect to see a unique perspective from the former NFL star as he brings his expertise and personality to the MNF pregame and halftime coverage.
With his nerves fueling his preparation, Kelce is poised to deliver a captivating performance in his new role as an NFL analyst on ESPN. Stay tuned for more updates as Kelce gears up for his debut on Monday Night Football.
