Philadelphia Eagles veteran center Jason Kelce recently concluded his NFL career, spurred by Shaquille O’Neal’s heartfelt advice. As he is now making waves regarding a potential WWE career, Jason Kelce’s off-field mishap has come to light.
It is the loss of his Super Bowl ring in a rather unique manner, as revealed by the ex-Eagles player himself on the latest episode of the “New Height podcast.”
“I don’t even know if Travis still knows this, but I legitimately lost my Super Bowl ring in this event. They could not find it. We have still yet to find it. All of this stuff has been thrown away so I think we can safely assume that my Super Bowl ring is in a landfill someplace in the Cincinnati tri-state area. I didn’t think that would happen.”

The mishap occurred during the Kelce brothers’ “Lombaby” Games event at their alma mater, the University of Cincinnati. As part of the festivities, teams of students engaged in various peculiar challenges, including one involving a large inflatable tub of Skyline chili. In this challenge, students had to dig through the chili to find socks with Super Bowl rings attached to them, per Yahoo Sport.
Unfortunately, amid the chaos, Jason Kelce’s actual Super Bowl LII ring went missing.
How many rings has Jason Kelce had throughout his NFL career?
The Super Bowl ring lost by Jason Kelce during the Kelce brothers’ “Lombaby” Games event held sentimental value as it was the only ring he earned throughout his NFL career. Crafted from fine white gold and embellished with 219 diamonds and 17 rare green sapphires, the ring symbolized his crowning achievement in professional football.

This triumph came during the 2017 NFL season, when he was an integral part of the Philadelphia Eagles’ Super Bowl LII-winning team. Throughout the season, the 36-year-old, who was recently ripped by Beau Allen, showcased his prowess, starting all 16 regular-season games and delivering one of his most memorable performances on the field.
The pinnacle of his career came when the Eagles emerged victorious with a score of 41-33 against Tom Brady’s New England Patriots in the Super Bowl. This victory marked Kelce’s first and only ring to date.
