Surprisingly, Jason Kelce has an existing close connection with the firefighters as their all-time supporter. His vocal support for the firefighters was hyped up by the International Association for Firefighters in a post via X. Giving it a humorous twist with Kelce’s shirtless pics from Highmark Stadium, the organization thanked him for wearing a Local 402 t-shirt on the New Heights Podcast. One day into retirement, Kelce attempted a fire drill to replicate it at the Highmark Stadium.
Jason Kelce Estimated to Head Away from Fire to Broadcasting
Though the odds differ for Jason Kelce, his next stint in broadcasting presents a legitimate option for the New Heights Podcast host. The broadcasting media also presents a safe option since there are numerous examples of former NFL players who have made their place. Terry Bradshaw and Troy Aikman present such examples each acing the media though hailing from different eras.
The latest addition to broadcast is Tom Brady, who retired from active football in Feb. 2023. Though he has embraced his other roles as an entrepreneur as well as a philanthropist, his association with Fox News came as a pleasant surprise. Jason Kelce could translate his crude humor and candid charm to the viewers through his media stint.

Crossing fingers with the same hope of having Kelce break down football for the fans, Andrew Marchand on the Ross Tucker Football Podcast claimed that Jason Kelce might be entering the broadcast world soon. “More likely Kelce ends up on a [pregame show] desk than Belichick,” uttered The Athletic’s NFL writer.
While this might not be insider information, it speaks of the media’s estimation with respect to Kelce who broke into the media world through his podcast. As Kelce’s future story unfolds, it will be an interesting show to watch him embark on a new role.
