For 11 years, Jeff Stoutland had the pleasure of coaching Jason Kelce in Philadelphia. During his time with the Eagles, Stoutland gained a reputation as one of the best offensive line coaches in the league.
Speaking to the media on Monday, Stoutland expressed mixed emotions about Kelce’s retirement. He said he was happy for Kelce but also sad because he felt like he was losing a close friend and partner in the process. Despite these feelings, Stoutland acknowledged that Kelce’s decision to retire was perfect timing and that he had given everything he had to the game.
Stoutland praised Kelce for his dedication and commitment, noting that he left nothing on the table in his career. Kelce’s accomplishments speak for themselves, as he finished his career as a Super Bowl champion, seven-time Pro Bowler, and six-time first-team All-Pro. His impact on the Eagles and the city of Philadelphia will not be forgotten.
