Eagles Legends Kelce & Cox’s First Pitch Sparks Debate Among Fans: Did Jason Outshine Travis?

The team received a much-needed boost ahead of their second game of the 2024 season, thanks to the presence and support of two beloved former Eagles, Jason Kelce and Fletcher Cox.

On Saturday afternoon, NBC Sports Philadelphia released a heartwarming video showcasing the former Eagles donning jerseys, which stirred up excitement among fans. The highlight of the video was Kelce and Cox’s ceremonial first pitch, a moment eagerly anticipated after being announced on Kelce’s popular New Heights podcast, where he cohosts with his brother, Travis Kelce, the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Fans are drawing comparisons between Jason Kelce and Fletcher Cox, likening them to ‘Brogdon and Strahm,’ while expressing the opinion that the NFL legends surpass the mentioned duo.

Following the viral spread of the post, fans expressed a variety of opinions, with some even comparing the former NFL greats to legendary MLB players. One fan humorously commented, “Gonna tell my grandkids this is Gerry Bertier and Julius Campbell.”

One fan compared Jason Kelce and Fletcher Cox to MLB greats Connor Brogdon and Matt Strahm, humorously stating, “He throws better than Brogdon and Strahm.”

In another instance, a fan praised Kelce and Cox as “GOATs,” commenting, “I see some GOATs.”

Yet another fan jokingly criticized the first pitch as an “error,” expressing disappointment by stating, “Way to respect the legends. Start off the game with an error smh.”

The Eagles’ visit to Citizens Bank Park not only boosted fan morale but also showcased the admiration professional athletes can have for one another. The team later shared additional photos, capturing Kelce signing first baseman Bryce Harper’s cleats before the game.

Meanwhile, Kelce and Cox, close friends and former teammates, both announced their retirement within a week of each other in early March. Kelce delivered an emotional retirement announcement, expressing gratitude to his family, teammates, and the many individuals who shaped his football career.
