over the last three seasons, I can honestly say that I am a fan of this technically sound cornerback. First are foremost, Kelly plays the hands and breaks up passes this way like few high school prospects in the state. In order to do this, he has been seen on film playing trail technique, allowing himself room to accelerate, play the hands, and still be in the position all at the same time. In run Kelly does a nice job of fighting along the perimeter forcing ball carriers back to his help; however, I want to see him improve tackling with the correct head leverage to totally eliminate the sideline as an option. Offensively he can manipulate his speed to lull defenders to speed while also gaining depth on his routes to find openings. Kelly has even been used as a running back at times to create mismatches on linebackers, hitting double moves. I do not know how teams continue to sleep on him.
