It appears that Jason Kelce won't be completely stepping away from football.

The former Philadelphia Eagles center will be joining ESPN to be part of its "Monday Night Countdown" pregame show for the 2024 NFL season, according to a report in The Athletic on Monday.

The Super Bowl 52 champion retired in March after spending his entire 13-year career in Philadelphia. The Athletic reported in March that ESPN was one of the frontrunners to land Kelce's first post-playing career role.

Regarded as one of the best offensive linemen in the NFL with six first-team All-Pro selections, Kelce's popularity has grown away from the football field. He and his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, host their "New Heights" podcast, among the most popular in the country. Jason Kelce's 2023 season was also documented in the Amazon Prime Video show "Kelce."

Scott Van Pelt, Marcus Spears and Ryan Clark are part of the "Countdown" team, and The Athletic reported that Robert Griffin III is unlikely to return to the show.
