And that it pays to be associated with Taylor Swift. Jason Kelce may be able to score Taylor Swift tickets for free, but with a net worth like his, he can also afford to buy them himself—along with whatever stadium she’s playing at.
“I think the Kelce brand, in general, is pretty high right now,” Kelce told Golfer’s Journal in November, when a reporter pointed out that his longstanding underdog status no longer seems relevant. “I don’t know that it should be this high. If anything, we’re the overdog now. We’re way overvalued, probably. But I think I still try to attack things with that same mentality of, you put the work in, you do your best and you just try to get better than the day before—all the mentality that I had before.”
How did Jason Kelce get his start?
“I entered the University of Cincinnati as a walk-on,” Kelce said in his emotional retirement speech earlier this year. “As a linebacker, I had no idea what to expect, but scenes from [the movie] Rudy would often race in my mind. It became apparent immediately that walk-ons would have to fight harder for their opportunities than the rest of the team. I had no stars, no investment from the team or the coaches. I’d have to earn everything, and that’s good, because I had no clue what hard work was yet. Knowing that I had to earn my respect every day made me committed like never before.”
“I won’t forget the call I got from [coach] Andy Reid on draft day, and my father rushing into the room with tears streaming down his face as his son’s dreams had just been realized,” he said at his retirement conference. “It had just been announced on TV I had been drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles.”

“Today, I must admit, I am officially overrated,” he said in his retirement speech. “Vastly overrated. It took a lot of hard work and determination getting here. I have been the underdog my entire career and I mean this when I say it, I wish I still was. Few things gave me more joy than proving someone wrong. … [W]henever I was faced with doubt in my career, be it from fans, from coaches, even from my own teammates, the American dream would burn from deep inside my bones which leads to my last Jeff Stoutland quote, ‘Hungry dogs run faster.'”
