Eagles fans paid tribute to Jason Kelce just two months after his retirement from the NFL when a mural of the former center was unveiled in a Philadelphia suburb.

On Monday, New Heights, the podcast Jason co-hosts with his younger brother and Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, shared a snapshot of the colorful artwork in Havertown on X.

It included a message of thanks to the 36-year-old 2018 Super Bowl (LII) champion.

The mural was done by artist Jimmy McMenamim, owner of the graffiti company Glossblack. He previously provided wall art for the Eagles and teams such as the 76ers, NBA, Disney and Red Bull in the City of Brotherly Love.

People were quick to comment on the mural on social media.

Jason, who spent 13 seasons in the NFL with the Eagles, retired from the NFL in March.

In April, it was announced that the former seven-time Pro Bowl selection would be joining ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown.

He also participated in WrestleMania XL with his former Eagle partner Lane Johnson, wearing wrestler masks, as they helped Rey Mysterio and Andrade win their match.

The event was held in Philadelphia at Lincoln Financial Field, home of the Eagles.
