WATCH: Jason Kelce Delivers Legendary Speech At Eagles Parade

PHILADELPHIA, PA — Striding up to the podium dressed in fantastical Mummers garb like a medieval monarch, Eagles center Jason Kelce addressed the legions of faithful fans stretching the length of the parkway.

"I wanna take a second to talk to you about underdogs," he began.

What followed was a five minute stream of roaring baritone, describing how each of them had been underestimated, misjudged, not believed in. It was more than just vindication. It was the king's justice.

"Jason Peters was told he was too old. Didn't have it anymore. Before he got hurt, he was the freakin' tackle in the NFL," Kelce mocked. "Stefen Wisniewski ain't good enough. Jason Kelce is too small. Lane Johnson can't lay off the juice. Brandon Brooks has anxiety. Carson Wentz didn't go to a Division I school. Nick Foles don't got it. Corey Clement is too slow. LeGarrette Blount ain't got it anymore. Jay Ajayi can't stay healthy. Torrey Smith can't catch. Nelson Agholor can't catch. Zach Ertz can't block. Brent Celek is too old. Brandon Graham was drafted too high. Vinny Curry ain't got it. Beau Allen can't fit the scheme. Nigel Bradham can't catch. Jalen Mills can't cover. Patrick Robinson can't cover. It's the whole team! It's the whole team!"

All of them, at one point or another, underdogs. All of them now Super Bowl champions.

There was the sense that not only had a mere championship been won, but some long-suffered war had finally come to a close after a year of battle.

The impassioned speech immediately elevated the already popular Kelce to cult status. Hours later at the Flyers versus Canadiens game at the Wells Fargo Center, the center screen repeatedly flashed "Kelce for Mayor" to resounding roars.
