“Part of the reason why I started doing all these other things is because I know the time is coming to an end,” Kelce said. “I want to make sure I’m in a good position once I get done playing, that I have outlets. … I think retirement becomes an easier decision when you know firmly what you want to do.
“I guess there are days when I don’t want to do this (anymore). But I think that largely, over the course of a season, I still really enjoy coming in. I still feel like I can do it. I still feel like I’m healthy enough to do it. And I can do it the right way.”
