FORMER NFL Star Jason Kelce continues to find new career opportunities after leaving football.
The Philadelphia Eagles legend made a surprise appearance on Wednesday’s Jeopardy! Final master’s degree.

Kelce appeared in several pre-recorded videos during the broadcast.
The 36-year-old had an entire category – The World Revolves Around Jason Kelce – dedicated to him on the game show.
Kelce was tasked with giving the contestants clues, one of which related to the Eagles’ infamous ‘Tush Push’ play.
“I was a key part of our quarterback known as Tush Push,” Kelce explained.
“So I always smile knowingly when I hear their song, ‘Ah, push, push good, oh, push, push very good.’
Kelce awkwardly sang the final line, her deadpan delivery a delight for viewers.
“Jason Kelce speaking Salt-N-Pepper lyrics on Jeopardy Masters made me laugh out loud,” wrote one fan on X.
“I certainly didn’t expect Jason Kelce to give clues to an entire category in one episode of Jeopardy. That was something,” said another.

“@JasonKelce loved you on Jeopardy Masters! You killed it,” added a third.
“There’s a whole category on Jeopardy! Masters tonight, it’s just Jason Kelce giving video clues, six degrees of Kevin Bacon performing at different moments in pop culture. It’s the height of television,” laughed a fourth.
Kelce left the NFL behind in March after 13 seasons, retiring in an emotional press conference.
He spent his entire career with the Eagles and won a Super Bowl ring in 2018.
Off the field, Kece’s New Heights podcast has proven to be a huge hit with listeners.
The former center joins his brother Travis in the irreverent group, which has more than 2.3 million subscribers on YouTube.
Kelce took time away from sports after his retirement to plan his next career move.
‘Roasted Tom Brady? I don’t understand’
JASON Kelce watched roast Tom Brady on Netflix like most sports fans.
But the Philadelphia Eagles legend didn’t understand what was going on.
Speaking on his New Heights podcast with brother Travis, Jason said: “It was pure entertainment and I’m really happy they did it, but I just don’t understand what’s going on.
“I don’t know why people do this. Maybe I take myself too seriously.
“It was star-studded – but that said, I didn’t really get it.
“I don’t understand why people bake. I don’t understand why they are a thing.
“’Haha, yeah, my family is ruined, it’s so funny, everyone’s laughing, it’s great, we’re having fun, yeah, right.’”
He announced earlier this month that he has signed on with ESPN as an analyst for Monday Night Countdown.
“It turns out it was a short retirement! I’m excited to join ESPN, and especially the Monday Night Countdown team,” said Kelce.
“ESPN was a consistent presence in our home growing up and the network helped shape who I am and my love for all sports.
“Now appearing on the same screen is a full circle moment. And I mean, it’s fucking Monday Night Football! And I’m ready for some football.”
“Jason is a highly respected Super Bowl champion with a strong connection with fans,” said Burke Magnus, president of content at ESPN.
“Leaving the field and immediately heading to ESPN, viewers will benefit from his perspective, which was shaped over his years as an established leader in the locker room and a future Hall of Fame center.
“The addition of Jason to Monday Night Countdown will greatly strengthen our NFL coverage.”
