Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce is one of the best offensive linemen in the NFL, and he has helped the team be one of the NFL’s better teams for the better part of the last several years.
But his productivity hasn’t been limited to the gridiron.
Per Dov Kleiman, he recently ran a 5K race in order to raise money for autism.

Kelce and the Eagles recently finished a frustrating and disappointing season which started with many expecting them to return to the Super Bowl.
They lost a Super Bowl to the Kansas City Chiefs, and after winning 10 of their first 11 games in 2023, it looked like they were arguably the best team in football.
But they lost five of their last six regular season games, which included blowout defeats at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys, and they collapsed in the wild-card round of the playoffs versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Kelce, 36, made the Pro Bowl again last season, but many are expecting him to retire this offseason.
Even if he decides to continue playing, his team has lots of work to do if they are to return to the big game next winter.
They have undergone lots of turnover on their coaching staff, and there have been rumors that head coach Nick Sirianni lost the locker room.
There have also been rumors that the Eagles will trade star wide receiver AJ Brown, although it’s hard to imagine them following through on such speculation.
