Jason Kelce has been welcomed into Monday night countdown
On Tuesday, May 14, the former Philadelphia Eagles center celebrated his official welcome by embracing and lifting Abbott Elementary’s Quinta Brunson into the air as she introduced him at the Disney upfront, an event where the network announces new programming lineups.
Following his NFL retirement on March 4, Kelce will be ESPN’s new Monday Night Countdown commentator.
“I feel incredible,” he said onstage at the event. “I know what it takes to be great, it takes a great team. I am more than psyched to participate in all the shenanigans that’ll take place this season.”
Kelce continued, “I have three wonderful daughters, and my wife K and I, we’ll be taking full advantage.”
While onstage, Jason also joked with Brunson, 34, about whether or not he would be wearing a shirt for his new gig.
“Will you wear a suit? Or go topless?” the actress asked. “Gametime decision.”
