“Under the helmet.” Prime Video has debuted a trailer for another sports biopic documentary titled Kelce, about the All-Pro football player Jason Kelce. This is made by NFL Films, which means it’s just one big glorified commercial for the NFL, but don’t skip it yet. The film is directed by award-winning doc filmmaker Don Argott, who has directed many other fantastic docs over the last 20 years: The Art of the Steal, The Atomic States of America, As the Palaces Burn, Batman & Bill, Framing John DeLorean, Kurt Vonnegut: Unstuck in Time, and Keep Sweet. Kelce is an intimate and emotional feature-length documentary film that chronicles Philadelphia Eagles team captain and All-Pro center Jason Kelce’s 2022-23 season, which began with him confronting one of the most challenging decisions any professional athlete will ever face—is now the time to hang it up? The film culminates with the historic Super Bowl face-off against his younger brother Travis Kelce. After all of this, he still wonders: Is it time to retire yet? “Jason Kelce has established himself as one of the most compelling and influential characters in sports, both on and off the field.” Preview below.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Don Argott’s doc Kelce, direct from Prime Video’s YouTube:
Kelce is an intimate and emotional feature-length documentary that chronicles Philadelphia Eagles team captain and All-Pro center Jason Kelce’s 2022-23 season, which began with him confronting one of the most challenging decisions any professional athlete will ever face—is now the time to hang it up? After deciding to return for his 12th NFL season, Kelce embarked on a remarkable journey, highlighted by the arrival of his third daughter; the debut of his chart-topping podcast New Heights, which he co-hosts with brother, Kansas City Chiefs’ Travis; and a history-making Super Bowl appearance that placed the entire Kelce family at the center of the sports world. But as the season came to a close, he was still left grappling with what life looks like after he moves on from the game, and if this hungry dog has one more run in him.
