In this week’s edition of New Heights, the Kelce brothers discussed Jason’s decision to bow out from the NFL in more detail, as Travis admitted to wanting his older sibling to play on next season.

‘We did not talk about much of your retirement Jason joked: ‘Why didn’t you tell me this? I’d have changed my mind.’

After claiming his brother has ‘always been a step ahead’, and Jason pointed out he is the older of the two, Travis then burst into tears while opening up on the emptiness he already feels without him in the sport. Travis and Jason enjoyed an iconic journey as the NFL’s most famous brothers over the last decade, with the pair even locking horns in a historic Super Bowl last year.

And the Chiefs tight end is gutted to see the back of his brother on the football field, heaping praise on him for showing him the ropes in the sport.

‘It was a fun-a** journey to watch,’ Travis continued. ‘Like I said yesterday man, I just appreciate you showing me the way and bringing us all on the journey with you big guy.

Jason replied: ‘We showed each other the way. I appreciate it. Listen, I’m out of playing but I’m still going to the games. Like I said, you’ve been playing for a long time on your own and I look forward to being able to appreciate and watch your games more, take in the bigger picture of football and everything that it has to offer, while still remaining local in Philadelphia.
