Jason Kelce finally made the announcement that Philadelphians had been dreading. The longtime Eagles center is hanging up his No. 62 jersey.

Kelce revealed that he was retiring during a press conference on Monday afternoon, closing the door on a Hall of Fame-worthy career. Kelce ended his run on a high note, earning spots on the All-Pro and Pro Bowl rosters for a third consecutive season.

A key member of the Eagles team that won Super Bowl 52, Kelce embraced the underdog mentality of the city in which he played and emerged as an unlikely sports legend in Philadelphia.

"I don't know what's next, but I look forward to the new challenges and opportunities that await," Kelce said. "And I know that I carry with me the lessons from my time here, and that forever we shall all share the bond of being Philadelphians."

Will Jason Kelce be a Hall of Famer?

After Kelce announced his retirement, The Sporting News' Jacob Camenker explained why will eventually enter the Hall of Fame.

Kelce seems likely to be a Hall of Famer with his career now over. His six All-Pro first-team nods are tied for the second-most by a pure center in NFL history with Dermontti Dawson. Both he and Jim Otto — who ranks ahead of Kelce with 10 All-Pro nods — are in the Hall of Fame.

Kelce's Super Bowl ring should help his cause, too. Why? Only two of the seven pure centers in the Hall of Fame — Mike Webster and Jim Langer — have won championships during their careers. Kelce ranking top-three in both All-Pro nods and Super Bowl wins at his position should help him emerge as a quality candidate.

Pro Football Reference gives Kelce a Hall of Fame score of 78.53. That ranks lower than the average score of a Hall of Fame center (103) and below six of the seven players at the position. It's good for the highest mark among non-Hall of Fame centers, however, so that should give Kelce a chance to get in.

When factoring in Kelce's big personality and his role in the Kelce Bowl, he should eventually earn enshrinement honors in Canton. He could be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, but if not, it won't take him long to get in.

And depending on how long Travis plays, the two Kelces may be enshrined as part of the same class.
