Throughout the press conference, Travis never took his eyes off his older brother as Jason reflected on their childhood and everything that led him to that moment.

Like his younger brother, the legendary Philadelphia Eagles center, 36, got choked up the second he sat down at the podium, taking a minute to compose himself before reading off his pre-written speech.

Jason reflected on his love for football and the city of Philadelphia, as well as the impact of playing in the NFL with Travis“It was really my brother and I our whole lives. We did almost everything together — competed, fought, laughed, cried and learned from each other,” Jason said.

“We invented games, imagine ourselves as star players of that time. We envisioned making winning plays day after day. We won countless Super Bowls in our minds before ever leaving the house. And when we weren’t playing we were at the other one’s games.”
