"He's enormous, he's fast, and he's smart." – Jason Kelce on Vita Vea#WPMOYChallenge Kelce pic.twitter.com/KJnKXMS5ys — Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) January 12, 2022 Jason Kelce is a big, strong, fast, and athletic center, and he’ll still need plenty of help inside against Buccaneers all-world defensive tackle, Vita Vea. While addressing the media this week, Kelce gave some insight into what his matchup against Vea and the Bucs defenders will be like. The Eagles led the NFL averaging 159.7 yards per game on the ground, but Tampa Bay led the NFC in rushing defense, allowing only 92.5 yards per contest, thanks to Vea and his game-wrecking tendencies. If Philadelphia wants to win, they’ll need to account for Vea along with the interior defenders and you could see the Eagles play with more tempo and pace to keep Vea off the field at times.
