Kelce bid farewell to the NFL in a press conference on March 4, 2024, with an emotional speech. Kelce diehards and all the NFL fans around the globe wish him a happy life after 13 years of NFL journey. With the Eagles, Kelce won Super Bowl LII and made seven appearances in the Pro Bowl.

What did Jason Kelce say to Nick Foles during NFL farewell press conference?
While saying goodbye to the NFL, the 36-year-old former center of the Eagles got emotional multiple times. In the press conference, he discussed several things about his 13 years at the NFL, including Dough Pederson, the former boss and ex-Eagles quarterback, and the “Philly Special.”
“Philly Special” is considered the most unforgettable play in NFL history, during the Eagles’ Super Bowl LII victory over the New England Patriots. The central figure of the play was Nick Foles and Kelce appears to recall it by saying, “I won’t forget Nick Foles having the biggest game of his life, on the biggest stage possible, the biggest d*ck on the team, going up to Dough Pederson and asking for Philly Special.”
“Philly Special” is a tricky play that involves a direct snap made to the running back. Then the running back hands off the ball to the tight end while the quarterback pretends to be blocking and slips towards the end zone as a receiver. The play first gained attention during the Eagles and Patriots Super Bowl LII fixture.
How did Nick Foles get the weird nickname?
The fans will forever remember Nick Foles of the Eagles due to his “Philly Special” performance in Super Bowl LII. The Eagles’ former quarterback got his weird nickname from his former teammate and linebacker, Connor Barwin.
While having an answer session with the fans, for an unknown reason, he decided to answer a question about p*nis. In contrast to the question, he answered that Foles has the largest p*nis on the Eagles roster.
Since then, the player has become more famous with his nickname than the original, and even other teammates of Foles began joking with him in this regard.
