Jason Kelce Shouted Out His ‘Humbled’ Band Teacher in Retirement Speech
Brett Baker wasn’t watching Jason Kelce’s retirement speech on Monday, so he missed the moment live when a potential NFL Hall of Fame center thanked him in a deeply emotional punctuation mark at the end of his playing career.
In fairness to Baker, however, not many football players go out of their way to thank their high school band director.
Roughly six minutes into his 40-minute speech, the former Philadelphia Eagles star shouted out former Cleveland Heights High School head coach Mike Jones, as well as other football and hockey coaches, before closing with Baker.
“All of you taught me countless lessons and put up with a very young, rambunctious kid that was full of immaturity, stupidity and cockiness,” Kelce said. “I would without question not be where I am today without your efforts with me and the countless other children you served.”
In a phone interview with Newsweek on Tuesday, Baker—who now teaches at an elementary school (“less nights and weekends”)—said he was “humbled” by the shout-out.
