Eagles' Jason Kelce Lands on NFL Top 100 List
For the fifth time in his career, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce has been voted one of the NFL's elite players by his peers.
Kelce came in at No. 37 on the annual NFL Top 100 Rankings, as voted by the league's players.
He will now join a bunch of Eagles teammates who have already been selected, including receiver DeVonta Smith (No. 100), cornerback Darius Slay (No. 65), linebacker Hasson Reddick (No. 48), and offensive tackle Lane Johnson (No. 41). And as the list continues to release, with players like quarterback Jalen Hurts and receiver A.J. Brown not on the list yet, it's likely that Kelce will have more teammates joining him in the NFL Top 100 Rankings.
The Eagles' center experienced an impressive climb in the rankings, rising from No. 71 last year. Kelce's ascent can be attributed to his dominant performance last season, where he allowed zero sacks and no quarterback hits. Additionally, Kelce played a critical role in anchoring the Eagles' offensive line all the way to Super Bowl LVII, where they suffered a heartbreaking 38-35 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Since being drafted in the sixth round of the 2011 NFL Draft, Kelce has come a long way. He has become the greatest Eagles offensive lineman in team history, likely earning his place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame once he decides to hang up his cleats.
Heading into his 13th season, Kelce will once again lead the Eagles offensive line as they set their sights on reaching the Super Bowl for the second consecutive year.
