While former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce is nearing two seasons removed from his NFL retirement, his younger brother, Travis Kelce, is preparing for his 13th season with the Kansas City Chiefs.
The two had their fair share of battles during their careers, most recently in Super Bowl LVII when Travis and the Chiefs defeated Jason and the Eagles 38-35.
In September 2022, when both brothers were still playing, Travis and Jason started their own podcast together called “New Heights,” bringing in celebrity guests to speak in each episode.
On Tuesday, the Kelce brothers revealed the latest guest for their podcast: Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.
“Joining us today from Whitinsville, Massachusetts, Jason Kelce said. “He’s been a football coach for over 40 years. Had nearly two dozen coaching roles in three countries. A four-time Super Bowl champion. The only NFL coordinator to win a Super Bowl with two different franchises. Tom Brady has called him the bane of my existence. And he is now entering his seventh year with the Chiefs as the most successful coordinator in franchise history. Please welcome Steve Spagnuolo.”
Spagnuolo has been with the Chiefs since 2019, winning four Super Bowls alongside Travis. Before that, he served in numerous positions for multiple different NFL teams.
NFL fans loved the Kelce brothers’ next podcast guest, taking to social media to leave their thoughts.
“Oh, this is GREAT!!!!! Hell yeah!” one fan said.
“SPAGS!!! I am so pumped for this one. Thank you thank you for making it happen,” added another.
“FINALLY GOT SPAGS LFG,” a third wrote.

Spagnuolo has helped Kansas City hold one of the league’s more consistent defenses over the past few years. In 2024, his defense only allowed 19.2 points per game, good for fourth in the NFL.
The Chiefs will kick off the 2025 season on Friday, Sept. 5, facing the Los Angeles Chargers in Brazil.
