During the episode, the 36-year-old explained how he decided to wear the cut-up muscle tank with the Eagles logo.

“I guess I start out the day. That’s the first choice you got to make. You’re like, ‘What am I going to wear to this thing?’ Like a suit and ties is what most people wearing. But that wouldn’t feel right. Like I don’t think you know, for me —”

“It’s not a wedding,” Travis, 34, quickly interjected. “That’s the only time I’ve ever seen you wear a suit and tie.”

“I’ll wear a suit and tie when I have to that’s about it,” confessed Jason.

The retired NFL player explained that he considered all of the possible t-shirt options he could wear, including a Cleveland Heights or Eagles shirt. But after opening one of his drawers, he found the winning shirt.

He explained how he wore, practiced and lifted weights in that shirt every year. “And I’m like, ‘You know what this shirt, in some ways, was a part of this journey with me. More than anything else in this closet. So I’ll wear this.’”

Along with paying homage to his 13-season career with his shirt, he also had his trainer, Joe O’Pella, wrap his ankles one last time.

“My trainer, one of the trainers at the Eagles has been battling cancer all season long and he’s been there my entire career too,” explained Jason, adding that Pella is currently in “remission” and doesn’t “have any signs” of cancer.

“But he wasn’t able to tape me for any of the games this year and he taped my ankles my whole career. So he taped my ankles for the press conference one last time,” revealed Jason.

“So I had ankle tape on with sandals. So yeah, that was what went into, I guess the attire,” concluded the NFL star.
