As a 13-year veteran, all spent with the Philadelphia Eagles, center Jason Kelce knows a rough season when he sees one.

And after a 2021 season in which the Philadelphia Eagles went 9-8, Kelce seriously pondered retirement, only to come back and captain a team that came agonizingly close to winning the Super Bowl last season.

Kelce's 2022 season and personal life have been distilled into "Kelce," a documentary offering a very intimate look inside his decision and the drive to the Super Bowl.

The documentary is set to premiere on Sept. 14 exclusively on Prime, just two days before the return of Thursday Night Football , with the Minnesota Vikings revisiting the Philadelphia Eagles.

The intimate and emotional documentary chronicles Kelce as it begins with him confronting the question that was also on fans' minds — will he retire?

The documentary also highlights the arrival of Kelce's third daughter and the debut of his chart-topping podcast, New Heights, co-hosted by Kansas City Chiefs tight end and brother, Travis Kelce.

The documentary rounds out with the Super Bowl history-making appearance, putting the entire Kelce family in the spotlight and storylines throughout the week.
