The Kelce brothers pondered which NHL players, past or present, could transition to the NFL on their podcast New Heights

In their podcast "New Heights," the Kelce brothers discuss the possibility of NHL players like Eric Lindros, Jaromir Jagr, Claude Giroux, and Connor McDavid making an NFL roster. Jason Kelce believes Lindros could play at tight end or offensive line, while his brother Travis agrees. Kelce also shared a story about Giroux, who would arm wrestle in Eagles' locker rooms. The conversation highlights the potential for NHL players to make a significant impact in the NFL.

Jason and Travis Kelce discussed potential NHL players who could excel in the National Football League on their New Heights podcast. With hockey background and football knowledge, the Kelces provided insightful insights into potential players who could potentially make a name for themselves in the sport.
"Eric Lindros could play in the NFL," Jason said of the legendary Philadelphia Flyers center. "I feel pretty confident about that one." "Do you think he's a tight end," Travis asked. Jason talked about having Lindros at his gold outing this year. "He's massive, man," he said. "Like he could have put on weight easily and played O-line, he definitely could have played tight end.”
The two discussed Jaromir Jagr's impressive performance on the gridiron before discussing Claude Giroux's potential as a wide receiver. Their overlap in Philadelphia for over a decade led to a humorous story about the former Flyers captain, Jason Kelce. "He's feisty," Kelce said, before adding that Giroux used to try to arm wrestle anyone who would accept his challenge. "So mentality-wise? Absolutely, could play in the NFL. Physically, eh… gonna have to see that."
Travis then tried to remember a "bruiser" who played for the "f---king Leafs," and I've got to assume he means Ryan Reaves, who, ironically is the son of a former CFL and NFL player, Willard Reaves. Jason Kelce was initially skeptical about the potential of Zdeno Chara as an offensive lineman and Connor McDavid as a running back, but was convinced after watching a video of Gretzky smoking Sugar Ray Leonard, Björn Borg, and Pelé in a 100-yard dash. "I'm gonna say he could have done it," Jason said.
