Overview
- ESPN’s segment highlighted U.S. Marine Sergeant Rodney Maxwell Davis, who died in Vietnam by throwing himself on a grenade to save five fellow Marines.
- Kelce reflected on Davis’s sacrifice on air, noting that those saved went on to have families and saying the Marine left behind a 2-year-old at the time.
- The feature drew a parallel that Davis was 25 when he died, the same age Steen is today, adding poignancy to the tribute.
- Co-host Marcus Spears became emotional alongside Kelce as the panel discussed the story during the Monday Night Countdown broadcast at Lambeau Field.
- Earlier in the day, Kelce discussed his post-retirement broadcasting role on Good Morning America, mingled with Packers fans by handing out cheese curds, and later shouted out his wife Kylie’s Not Gonna Lie podcast after reacting to a fan’s sign on the pregame show.
