Travis Kelce: Football 'feels empty' after brother Jason's retirement

It's only been a few days since Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce announced his retirement from the NFL, but younger brother Travis Kelce is already feeling his absence.

On the latest episode of the "New Heights" podcast, an emotional Travis discussed the impact Jason had on his own career and how "empty" it feels now that his brother is no longer playing football.

"You've always been a step ahead of me in this game ... It's always been like I've had that floatation device right there," the Kansas City Chiefs tight end explained. "To have you out of it, man, it feels empty. It definitely feels like it's complete. It was a success, it was a fun ass journey to watch, and like I said yesterday, I just appreciate you showing me the way and bringing us all along on the journey with you."

Jason confirmed his retirement Monday after 13 seasons in the NFL, all of which were spent in Philadelphia.

Although he won't be suiting up for the Eagles anymore, Jason told Travis that he'll still be taking in games and is looking forward to the next chapter.

"Listen, I'm out of playing, but I'm still going to the games," Jason said. "Like I said, you've been playing for a long time on your own and I look forward to being able to appreciate and watch your games more and take in the bigger picture of football and everything that it has to offer."

Travis, meanwhile, is coming off his 11th NFL season and third Super Bowl championship with the Chiefs. He has two years remaining on his current contract and recently stated that he has "no desire" to stop playing any time soon.
