“That’s really all that matters, honestly,” Ertz quipped.
Julie Ertz joked about the reaction of Jason Kelce’s wife, Kylie, to the matching hair.
“I don’t think Kylie [Kelce] liked your hair as much as I liked Zach’s hair,” Julie Ertz said.
The conversation turned emotional when Ertz discussed the bonds formed with teammates during his Eagles career from 2013 to 2021, which included a touchdown in Super Bowl LII.
“When you spend nine years somewhere, you’re going to always have a natural affinity for the place,” Ertz said.

“Unfortunately … I wasn’t able to play my whole career [in Philadelphia].”
Ertz emphasized that locker room camaraderie mattered more than statistics.
“The thing I look back on fondest is our core group of guys that we had together for a long period of time, with you, Lane, BG, Fletch, myself,” Ertz said.
“It wasn’t easy all the time for any of us.
Like there were times we’d get killed in the media or whatever it was, and I always knew you four always had my back regardless of what we were going [through].
And I hope you guys felt the same about me.”
He highlighted behind-the-scenes moments over game stats.
“And it is a little emotional talking about — I don’t know why — but just going through that, just being around the guys.
No one is going to remember about how many yards or catches or starts we had, but I do remember the day-to-day, grinding, the stories of you kicking over a trash can because you didn’t like the way a coach was treating someone else, or Lane hiding your helmet — those are the things I remember,” Ertz said.
