Kelce is entering his final season in the NFL, and he won’t have a lack of job offers when he hangs up his cleats.
He already stars in commercials and TV shows, even making an appearance on Saturday Night Live.
However, Kelce recently admitted that he felt extra pressure on SNL because of the table reads.
“The table reading, for a guy that can't really read that well, it was kind of a f***ed situation,” he said on the Bussin With the Boys podcast.
Taylor Lewan, one of the hosts of the podcast, brought up the idea of broadcasting for Kelce in the future.
He pointed at Brady’s 10-year, $375 million contract with Fox for Kelce to replicate.
“Everyone saw it,” Kelce said.
“I want to see what calling a game feels like. Yea, I want to see getting in the booth.”
Kelce said he mimicked broadcasters growing up and would love to try their jobs.
“I've always feel like [I] impersonated guys that call the games and stuff like that growing up,” Kelce continued.

“I don't know, I thought it would always be fun. Just jump in there.”
While he is interested in a broadcasting career, Kelce did share that he doesn’t think he’d do a great job of it.
“Player names is where I would get f***ing ruined,” he said.
Kelce already has someone close to him where he could get advice on being a broadcaster.

His brother, Jason, is working as a broadcaster for ESPN with his first season being last year.
Jason isn’t making nearly as much as Brady though, reportedly signing a three-year, $24 million contract with the network.
He serves on Monday Night Countdown, giving pregame, halftime, and postgame coverage.
Kelce would likely thrive on a show like this, or could end up as a color commentator for a major network.
