28. C Jason Kelce

While his talented younger brother Travis gets more attention these days, the 2011 sixth-round pick from the University of Cincinnati has proven to be one of the most durable players in the league and arguably the top center in the game.

In 2021, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce was named to the Pro Bowl for the fifth time and earned All-Pro honors for the fourth time in five years. A year earlier, he was one of the few positives on a team that finished 4-11-1 and dead last in the NFC East. In ’21, he was a huge reason that Nick Sirianni’s club led the league in rushing yards per game. He announced earlier in 2022 that he would return for his 12th season.

In 11 NFL campaigns, Kelce has started all 159 regular-season games he has played in. That includes these past seven seasons in which he was in the opening lineup. Dating back to Week 9 of 2014, the 11-year pro has started 122 consecutive outings.

During that troubling 2020 campaign in which the Birds won only four games, the talented pivot was the steady force along an offensive line that was devastated by injuries — losing starters Andre Dillard and Brandon Brooks before the season even began. Despite this, the Eagles still managed to finish ninth in the league in rushing.
