It used to be that Jason Kelce was mostly in one place: playing center for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Yes, he might pop up at a playoff game for his brother Travis, but he still was known primarily for playing football.

Now? It seems like Jason Kelce is in every other commercial. As Awful Announcing reports, he's also covering ice hockey and golf — including the Masters.
He even found time to toss a pigskin with some fans while playing in the American Century Championship in South Lake Tahoe earlier this month.
Appearing on the "Ross Tucker Football Podcast" on Tuesday, Kelce revealed his varied activities are partly due to his role with ESPN and partly due to his natural curiosity.
‘Yeah, Of Course I Want to Do the Masters'
As detailed by Sam Neumann of Awful Announcing, Kelce said his golf activities were due to his interest in the sport and the upstart TGL.
“This year, the things I did with ESPN outside of [football] would be TGL and then the Masters, right? TGL, that facility, I’d heard how incredible it is down there and wanted to see that,” he explained. “The Masters, yeah, of course I want to do the Masters. The number one place in the golf world to go down to Augusta, Georgia. There’s nothing I think that really tops that experience. I had been as a spectator before. That was my first time to go and participate and see the Par 3.”
As for the other stuff, like NASCAR at Talladega Superspeedway?
"I basically have a YouTube channel where a lot of this stuff, bobsledding, NASCAR, we tried to dunk for the first time — you get to document it, so you’re making money on it, and at the same time you get to try and do something really cool that you’ve never had the opportunity to do. Especially while I played, I didn’t have the opportunity to try these things. So, now being retired, [with] a little bit more time, you can go and try things that you have always been interested in trying or seeing or doing," he explained.
That doesn't mean you won't see Kelce on "Monday Night Football," but he's also going to be doing "bucket list items that you’ve always wanted to do."
"It’s been fun," he said. "We’re definitely capitalizing on the ability to go and do random things. Maybe too much. We got to talk as a team, but it’s been fun.”
