Amazon Prime recently released a sports documentary focusing on the Philadelphia Eagles’ star center Jason Kelce. The sports documentary is directed by Don Argott and it digs into Kelce’s current and past life. It especially narrows in on his high school and college days, but then moves into focusing on Kelce’s 2018 Super Bowl victory with the Eagles.
This documentary has a variety of strengths and weaknesses. Its strengths are pretty simple: Jason Kelce. Kelce is a natural entertainer and tells many interesting stories especially those with his brother Travis. The relationship between the two brothers and their dual rise to fame adds an extra dimension to the documentary which makes it feel more heartfelt. Jason Kelce is shown to be dedicated to his family as well as the Philadelphia community. He is an important community leader and his impact within the community is especially felt when he wins a Super Bowl in 2018.
Despite its strengths, the documentary falls short in many ways. Although it’s interesting to get a look into Jason Kelce’s life and his rise to fame, I thought that it didn’t fully capture his adversity and what it took for him to become an NFL player. I’d recommend this documentary to NFL fans who want to know more about Jason Kelce, but for the average sports viewer, it falls short.
