Former NFL star Jason Kelce confirms switch to rugby

Former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, who retired from the NFL in 2024 after winning a Super Bowl and earning seven Pro Bowl selections, has confirmed he is switching to rugby at age 38. He received training guidance from former England prop Joe Marler, who earned 95 caps for England before retiring in November 2024. Kelce acknowledged he has much to learn, joking about the crash course Marler gave him ahead of his first rugby game.
