Jason and Travis Kelce to attend their bobblehead night at Cleveland Cavaliers game on Tuesday
CLEVELAND — One day after announcing his retirement from the Philadelphia Eagles following a 13-year Hall of Fame-caliber career, Jason Kelce will be honored back where it all began.
On Tuesday night, the Cleveland Cavaliers will honor Kelce and his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, with a bobblehead doll giveaway. Each fan attending the matchup between the Cavs and the Boston Celtics at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse will have the opportunity to receive the two-player bobblehead, which features Jason and Travis Kelce in black Cavs ‘Statement’ jerseys including their signature NFL jersey numbers (No. 62 for Jason, No. 87 for Travis).
Additionally, the Cavs Team Shop will have exclusive Kelce brothers/Cavs merchandise available for sale, with a portion of the proceeds being donated to Heights Schools Foundation Initiatives.
The Kelce brothers will also be in attendance at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse on Tuesday night.
Natives of Northeast Ohio and graduates of Cleveland Heights High School, Jason and Travis both spent their college careers at the University of Cincinnati before embarking on Hall of Fame careers with the Eagles and Chiefs.
Prior to his retirement on Tuesday, Jason amassed six first-team All-Pro and seven Pro Bowl selections and helped anchor the Eagles’ offensive line during their Super Bowl-winning season in 2017. Meanwhile, Travis is one of the most accomplished tight ends in NFL history with seven All-Pro and nine Pro Bowl selections and has been a key figure in helping lead the Chiefs to three Super Bowl titles in the past five years.
(As you may have heard, Travis is also dating pop superstar Taylor Swift.)
Over the course of the past year, Jason and Travis Kelce have become arguably the NFL’s two most famous players as they became the first brothers to face each other in a Super Bowl when Travis’ Chiefs beat Jason’s Eagles in Super Bowl LVII. They also co-host a podcast, the aptly named “New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce,” in which they discuss their on and off-field adventures.
