Since Jason Kelce retired from the NFL back in March, there has been plenty of speculation as to his future.
Even after it was announced he was joining ESPN as a football analyst in April, some believed it was a Tom Brady-like smoke screen before returning to the gridiron.
Now his former teammate and Eagles offensive lineman Lane Johnson, has added fuel to a return to football for Kelce, but not as a player.
According to Johnson, Kelce has been in the Eagles’ facility more than he has since his retirement and he even has a locker in the coaches room.
Johnson added he was also at the Eagles team facility also to seek ‘advice from people and opinions about his future’.

He was lifting, stretching, and socializing, with him expected to be in the building one or two times a week.
Should Kelce trade in broadcasting for coaching, Johnson has a warning to Philadelphia’s staff.
‘They better watch out because this guy had more package at his locker, you couldn’t even get to his locker, there was just boxes,’ Johnson said of Kelce’s locker in the Eagles’ player locker room.
‘He kind of created a little fort and during the year, you couldn’t get to the back of the locker room, so watch out coaches locker room,’ Johnson continued.
It was alongside Kelce that Johnson appeared at WWE WrestleMania 40 at the Eagles’ home stadium, Lincoln Financial Field, where both men jumped the barricade in green masks.
The duo helped Rey Mysterio and Andrade win their tag-team match before unmasking.
