Jason Kelce has taken a new job at ESPN on the Monday Night Countdown pregame show.

The job comes only a month after he retired from the Philadelphia Eagles and the NFL

He will join host Scott Van Pelt and analysts Marcus Spears and Ryan Clark in the lead-in show to Monday Night Football, writes Rob Tomoe for The Philadelphia Inquirer.

He is presumably filling the spot held last season by former Washington quarterback Robert Griffin III.

Following his March retirement announcement, Kelce has been sought after by the TV networks and Amazon to appear on their NFL telecasts.

Kelce met with executives at Fox, Amazon, and CBS.

He apparently impressed TV network executives as a studio analyst last season for Amazon on Prime Video’s Thursday Night Football.

The ESPN show allows Kelce to pursue a TV career but keep his weekends free for his family.  It also gives him time to keep hosting the New Heights podcasts with brother Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs.

Kelce will likely be included in presentations made by Disney to advertisers ahead of the next season. The Walt Disney Company is a majority owner of ESPN.
