Jason Kelce has already been honored just days after announcing his retirement from the NFL.
Campbell’s Chunky celebrates the Philadelphia Eagles center, 36, by making him the face of the brand’s “Legend Edition” can. The limited edition can honors the father of three’s impact on the Philly community as well as his 13-season football career.
The design transforms Campbell’s iconic red and white look into one inspired by the Eagles. The green can features a large outline of Kelce’s iconic bushy beard and eyebrows. His signature was also entered. On the top of the can is the player’s name and jersey number (62).

In addition to the special cans, Campbell’s is also donating $62,000 to Kelce’s charity: (Be)Philly.
(Be)Philly was launched in 2022 and is a non-profit organization focused on supporting Philadelphia public school students. Kelce “founded and put a lot of heart” into the organization, he said in a statement.
Kelce announced his decision to retire from the NFL on Monday after 13 seasons in the league, seven Pro Bowl selections, six All-Pro first-team selections and one Super Bowl title.
In an emotional news conference at the Philadelphia Eagles’ practice facility at the NovaCare Complex, Kelce, who was selected by the team in the sixth round of the 2011 NFL Draft, recalled his love for the game that began when he was a boy in Cleveland Heights, Ohio.

What is Jason Kelce doing after retirement? What we know about his post-NFL life so far
Kelce announced his retirement through tears nearly 40 minutes into the speech. His brother Travis Kelce also wiped away tears during the press conference.
Travis, 34, was in the front row with Jason’s wife Kylie Kelce and parents Donna and Ed Kelce during the speech.
Jason talked about his relationship with his brother, mentioning their years playing sports together as kids and the joy they both felt when the other was drafted into the NFL.
“We have a small family. We have no cousins, one aunt, one uncle. It’s really been my brother and I my whole life,” explained Jason. “We did almost everything together – competed, fought, laughed, cried and learned from each other.”
