Jason Kelce's Bold Offer to NFL Owners

Former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce is taking matters into his own hands amidst growing speculation surrounding the controversial 'tush push' play. As the NFL heads into a critical owners' meeting in Minnesota, Kelce has proposed a direct conversation with the league's owners to dispel misconceptions about his stance on the play that has sparked significant debate.

Clearing the Air on Misunderstandings

On his popular podcast, 'New Heights,' Kelce revealed he felt his comments about the tush push were misinterpreted, particularly regarding its safety and his retirement. He clarified that rumors suggesting he stopped playing football due to injuries sustained from the maneuver are unfounded.

"I’m actually heading to Minnesota to address this issue directly,” Kelce stated. “Some owners at previous meetings hinted that my retirement was linked to the tush push, but that’s simply not true. I want to clear the air and answer any questions people may have.”

Will the Tush Push Survive?

As the league prepares to vote on a potential rule change aimed at prohibiting the pushing of ball carriers—a rule that could effectively alter the Eagles’ unique strategy—Kelce remains unfazed. "I honestly don’t care if they decide to ban it or not. The Eagles will always run a quarterback sneak with high efficiency regardless of what happens,” he asserted.
