And the best moment of the offseason for Kelce was when he and McDevitt were married in April. Just about every teammate came out to Center City to celebrate with Kelce and his family.

"I feel like I took care of a lot of things in the offseason," Kelce says. "I've been with my wife for a while now and the fact that we were finally able to tie the knot and have so many loved ones come in and everything so that was a really special day for us.

"It was awesome just to, every single time you go out, feel the appreciation from the fans, and the way the city felt from the game and the speech and everything," Kelce adds. "It was fun to hear everybody's stories and it was just a lot of good stuff."

Kelce made himself a fixture in the Philadelphia community. And for his teammates, especially fellow offensive linemen who know him best, this was no surprise.

"I've seen it multiple times," says All-Pro right tackle Lane Johnson. "It's just the guy he is. He plays football with passion, lives life with passion. He's just a passionate guy and that's why he's such a good football player. He puts so much into it.

"I guess it's safe to say that Kelce is living his best life."

Rookie guard Matt Pryor didn't see the speech live while he was still in school at TCU. However, it's hard not to hear about it when coming in to play on this offensive line.

"Man, Kelce is fierce," Pryor says. "You can tell from his enthusiasm in the speech after the Super Bowl and even when breaking it down in the huddle after practice. He's very passionate about the sport."

Kelce's passion is apparent to everyone. Johnson says he has a "crazy side to him" that gets the entire offensive line pumped up on gamedays. But more importantly, the work he puts in and the talent he has makes every player around him better.

"He gives me a sense of calmness because he's so smart on the field for us, knowing assignments, and putting everybody in the right positions," Johnson says. "Just him doing his job so effectively makes it easier for me."

Offensive lineman Isaac Seumalo's locker is to the left of Kelce's. The 24-year-old, third-year player contributes all over the line but plays plenty of snaps at the center position, learning whatever he can each day from Kelce. Seumalo was chosen by Kelce as the standout player of Training Camp.
