Former Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce and current Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce recently took to social media to announce major news about their latest podcast episode on “New Heights.” Travis Kelce hinted at the next guest the two would bring on the show and then gave Jason Kelce the stage to formally introduce the panel member.
“Alright, now it’s time to bring on our guest,” Travis Kelce said. “Jason, you wanna do the honors?” Jason Kelce screamed into the microphone, excited to tell the fans what was next on “New Heights.”
“From Plum, Pennsylvania, he was a national punt, pass and kick champion,” Jason Kelce said. “First-team All-Pro, First-Team Pro Bowler, Mr. Pat McAfee!”
Pat McAfee then responded, sharing an amusing response to the crew. “Wow,” McAfee said. “Yeah, I think I’m trying to get hustled too. I think I’m starting to get hustled.”
No reason to be subtle about our next guest 👀

McAfee, a former NFL punter and kickoff specialist, played for the Indianapolis Colts from 2009 to 2016. During his NFL career, he was a First-Team All-Pro in 2014 and made the NFL Pro Bowl in 2014 and 2016.
He now runs the “Pat McAfee Show” on ESPN. He’s been with ESPN since 2023, signing a five-year, $85 million deal with the network. McAfee and his crew go live from noon to 3 p.m. ET Monday through Friday.
Jason Kelce is co-hosting the podcast in his first year after retiring from the NFL. He spent 13 years with the Eagles and, during that time, helped the team win Super Bowl LII. He also became a six-time All-Pro and seven-time Pro Bowler.
His brother, Travis Kelce, is actively competing for the Chiefs. He’s a nine-time Pro Bowler, four-time All-Pro and three-time Super Bowl champion.
