Jason Kelce on Eagles starting from the bottom: It’s going to be harder than last season
The Eagles are starting from the bottom this spring, working to forget everything about 2022 as the team works to make history in 2023.
Philadelphia has retooled on both sides of the ball, they’re no apparent weaknesses, and their franchise quarterback has been signed to a long-term deal.
Even with all of the preseason hype, the legendary Jason Kelce is saying not so fast, predicting this season will be much more complicated than the last.
“I’m having fun every day being here with like-minded individuals in this environment. I’m not ready to stop and I’m excited to see this team evolve. We’re starting, in my mind, from ground one and in some ways it’s going to be harder than last season.” – C Jason Kelce pic.twitter.com/SbXz3zTRWq

Kelce returned for his 13th season after considering retirement, and the challenge of repeat success was most instrumental.
“In some ways, it’s going to be harder. When you do win and have a successful year, all offseason, all the offenses are looking to steal things that you do well. All the defenses are looking to stop the innovative, creative things that you’re doing so you have more eyes on you. You have more time being spent around the things that you do structurally. We have a lot to prove and it’s going to be even harder to have a really, really good season.”
The Eagles added Rashaad Penny to the offense during free agency and then acquired D’Andre Swift on draft night, while also selecting three more Georgia Bulldog defenders.
