He added, "It took a lot of hard work and determination getting here. I have been the underdog my entire career, and I mean this when I say it: I wish I still was." He went on to thank his teammates as well as his family—including Travis Kelce who was in the crowd and visibly emotional.

Jason also shouted out Travis in the speech, saying "we have a small family, no cousins, one aunt and one uncle, it was really my brother and I our whole lives. We did almost everything together, competed, fought, laughed, cried, and learned from each other."
