Jason Kelce, one of the greatest centers of all time, has announced his retirement from professional football after 13 NFL seasons.

The 36-year-old, dressed in a sleeveless workout jersey, was in tears for long periods of his retirement press conference, which was shown live on ESPN, a testament to the fame he found despite playing a position that rarely grabs the spotlight.
