The 37-year-old admits he’d give anything to play for the franchise again[/caption]
The legendary center, who was once seen as too small for the position, has incredibly fond memories of his time with the franchise.
And he’d give up just about anything to don his old jersey and take to the field for the Super Bowl 59 winners again.
During an appearance on Bussin’ with the Boys, he said: “I would go back out on the field in a heartbeat.
“I would give anything to be able to play football again.
“I don’t think I can do that anymore, but I thoroughly miss being out there with the guys and playing the game.
“I cherish the time out there with the guys.
“And again, like I said when you’re in it, you hate going through the grind of training camp.
“And like the two like we did two days in high school and college.

“But you know, you hate those moments.
“When you’re done, you like those are the ones that you kind of miss.”
Kelce longs to return to the gridiron so much that he’d happily accept the once-constant pain his body was in.
He said: “I miss, you know, my shoulder, hurting and being bloody and like trying to fight through a practice.
“Like, I miss my shoes squeaking with sweat out of them while I’m like walking across the field.”
Father Time is against Kelce, who aged 37, is dealing with a wealth of niggling injuries.
Kelce has turned to podcasting and punditry since his retirement and has excelled at both.
His ‘New Heights’ podcast is one of the most listened to by American football fans and has featured a wealth of guests.
