Jason Kelce doesn't get enough credit from non-Philadelphia Eagles fans.
A sixth-round pick out of Cincinnati who has gone on to start every game he's appeared in, Kelce can cut like a knife through even the stoutest of defensive fronts, call out the mike and the blitz with ease, and turn into a glorified fullback when tasked with pulling into space as a lead blocker. Even at 34, Kelce remains a force against both the run and the pass, and even if the Birds just drafted his replacement in Cam Jurgens, that doesn't mean he won't still be among the best, if not the best center in all of football this fall.
Fortunately, the fine folks at Madden have taken notice of this fact and handed Kelce the best rating of any center in the game at a very respectable 92 – at least according to MADDEN23LEAKS on Twitter.

Most definitely, these sort of accounts pop up all of the time, and even if they claim to have insider info, that's anything but a guarantee. But hey, even if this is nothing but a guess, or the numbers are slightly off, it's hard to imagine Kelce not being one of the highest-rated centers in the game, as he's held that distinction since Chip Kelly was a professional head coach.

Could this be the final time Jason Kelce is a playable character in a Madden game? potentially so, but hey, if that's the case, at least he'll go out on top, as one of the best players in the virtual and professional football, as, again, Philadelphia Eagles fans will eagerly tell you.
