Jason Kelce was very emotional during his retirement news conference on Grayson  PrestonTuesday, and during this week's New Heights podcast with his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis, the tears continued to flow.

Travis Kelce shared his thoughts on Jason's retirement and said his older brother had been his "flotation device" throughout the years.

"In this game, you have always been a step ahead of me, and it's always been that way," Travis Kelce said. "To have you out of it, man, it feels empty, and it definitely feels like it’s complete. It was a success."

The All-Pro tight end then took a moment to compose himself before speaking again.

"It was a fun ass journey to watch and, like I said yesterday, I just appreciate you showing me the way and bringing us all along the way, big guy," Travis said.

Jason Kelce said he will still attend games to get a further appreciation for his brother amid talk that Jason could be a studio analyst this season.

Jason also mentioned former teammate Nick Foles during the episode. One of the highlights of his retirement speech was reminiscing about how Foles suggested running the "Philly Special" during their Super Bowl 52 victory over the New England Patriots.

"I won't forget Nick Foles having the biggest game of his life, on the biggest stage possible – and the biggest (expletive) on the team, going up to Doug Pederson, and asking for the Philly Special," Kelce said during the speech.

"And Doug Pederson having the biggest (expletive) in the stadium … to say, 'Yeah, let's do it.'"

Kelce said he gave Foles and his wife a heads-up that he was going to mention it in his speech.
