The retired NFL star Jason Kelce is losing weight and putting an end to rumors of his return to football in the process, writes Anna Lazarus Caplan for People.

He has so far trimmed 20 pounds from his frame and plans on losing more.

“They’re not going to call me to come back and play center at 260 pounds,” he said, “and I’m moving on to the next thing.”

He added that he is also excited to watch Cam Jurgens, the Philadelphia Eagles’ new center.

“And for me personally, my days of playing are just done and I do not foresee any scenario taking place other than maybe medicine inventing a way to get rid of arthritis that I would ever entertain coming back at all anymore,” said Kelce.

The Monday Night Countdown star is now starting a new chapter of his career as a broadcaster.

In June, the co-host of the New Heights podcast revealed that retirement from football had been on his mind for some time.

“I’ll be very honest, the last four years I’ve wanted to retire at the end of seasons,” said Kelce.
