Jason Kelce has become one of the most popular offensive linemen in NFL history.
Not only is Kelce a future Hall of Famer due to his on-field efforts, but he is also a successful podcaster thanks to his “New Heights” program with his brother Travis.
Travis and Jason are among the most famous sports figures in the world at the moment, making for a cultural phenomenon surrounding their family.
For the newly retired Kelce, he may have media opportunities beyond his podcast, as Andrew Marchand of The Athletic reports.
As Marchand writes, Robert Griffin III might be out the door at ESPN, which could open up a chance for Kelce.

Marchand also indicated that Kelce has been a hot commodity among other media outlets.
He pointed to NBC, CBS, and Amazon as three other companies interested in hiring Kelce on their staff.
With Kelce having three young girls at home, it will be interesting to see if he will take a job of this magnitude, especially if he would need to be on the road often.
Plus, he does still have his podcast to think about.
“New Heights” continues to gain popularity even though he is retired, and unless he and Travis make a major change, this show isn’t going anywhere unless they say otherwise.
This is a developing story with more information to follow.
Kelce has turned into an icon at this point, and while he is an on-screen character, it is evident that his NFL knowledge is something that fans are craving in a larger capacity.
