JJ Watt calls Jason Kelce's body 'perfect' and offers retirement advice
JJ Watt maybe one Jason Kelce fan, but the former Houston Texans player wouldn't exhibit the same celebratory behavior when it comes to supporting his brother TJ Watt.
“I'm not a shirt-take-off in a stadium type, but you might see me waving a horrible towel in front of him, that's for sure,” JJ, 34, told exclusively We weekly on Monday, January 29, while promoting his partnership with Dawn. “I definitely support. I'd throw back a few beers for him, I'd chug, I'd have some beers with the fans, get some Miller Lites going. But yeah, I don't know if the sail will come off. I think Jason Kelce has the perfect body for this activity.”
The Philadelphia Eagles center, 36, made headlines for taking off his shirt and shouting in support of his brother Travis Kelce during the Kansas City Chiefs-Buffalo Bills game earlier this month. When the Chiefs tight end, 34, scored a touchdown, Jason was also seen climbing into the stands.
After watching the Chiefs beat the Bills, Jason explained that he wanted to have some fun after completing “a very grueling season” with the Eagles, who lost their wild-card game earlier this month.
“This was a chance to honestly just go somewhere and forget about all that and just have fun and move on [my] brother,” he said during an episode of his podcast “New Heights,” which he co-hosts with Travis.
While Jason's behavior on game day certainly caught the attention of many, he is also making headlines for his possible retirement. Fans wondered if he would retire after the loss of Super Bowl LVII, but he decided to return to the football field in March 2023.
After the Eagles were knocked out of Super Bowl contention earlier this month, NFL Insider reported Adam Schefter reported a day later that Jason had informed his teammates in the locker room that he was retiring.
While the rumors have not been confirmed by Jason himself, JJ noted that the Eagles player is “still playing at a very high level” and will be a “great player” if he chooses to continue with the sport.
“But if he decides to retire, he'll be an absolute hall-of-famer and he'll have had an incredible career,” JJ said. Us on Monday.
JJ added that Jason “won't have any problems” finding ways to spend his time off the football field once his NFL career truly ends.
“There's still plenty of time for some brews and a little beer pong or whatever he wants to do,” JJ said. “Also because I am a great father and watch his brother play.”
