In 2013, Kelce was named the team's Ed Block Courage Award recipient after returning from a knee injury
He is a native of Ohio and attended college at the University of Cincinnati, where he graduated with a degree in Marketing
Kelce was originally a walk-on with the Bearcat program as a linebacker, but was switched to the offensive side of the ball by coach Brian Kelly (now head coach at Notre Dame)
Once switched to offensive line, Kelce earned a scholarship and started the final 38 of 47 games with Cincinnati at guard and center
Travis, Kelce's brother, played at Cincinnati for Jason's final two seasons and then was drafted by the Chiefs in the third round of the 2013 draft
