Jason Kelce announced his retirement from the NFL after 13 seasons in an emotional press conference Monday, his “Super Bowl Rolex” catching the eyes as well as the lenses of the media, including the New York Post and Men’s Journal who wrote about it.
Kelce, 36, whose brother Travis has made headlines for dating music star Taylor Swift, wore a discontinued green-dial, yellow-gold Rolex GMT-Master II, which, as he revealed on the “Green Light with Chris Long” podcast last month, was a special team commission following the Eagles’ Super Bowl win in 2018.
In the podcast, Kelce said Super Bowl rings aren’t comfortable or fun to wear. “You feel kind of like a douche,” he said. “They’re also really big and clunky. Like, it’s already giving me a blister on my finger.” So, some on the Eagles’ team decided to have Rolexes customized commemorating the Super Bowl, he said.
