Just How Good Is RB John Kelly?

[dang]

Exactly. The one-two punch.

Like McCutcheon and Tyler.....



Faulk and Jackson....



Captain and Tenille....

Tequila and Orange Juice....top shelf and freshly squeezed

The way I see it, he has that rare trait where his "eyes are connected to his feet". I see a lot of Marshawn Lynch in his style.
BUT he needs to do two things to be more than your basic, easily expendable mid-to-late round pick that does nothing.

the wind whispers
M a r d y G i l y a r r r r r d...​

He needs to find a role on STs and/or and not be a liability in pass protection.
IF he can pick up the playbook, as well as a blitzing LBer, he will carve out a spot on this team.

When you are slow and small, you have to be more than a hard runner.

My bosses boss lives in Tennessee and is a HUGE Vols fan. When we drafted him he called me up and told me how good he was. He could easily be our #2 he proclaims. I don’t know shit about him honestly.

 

[SteezyEndo]

Peyton Manning saw this coming back when he was a Vol. The power of his ginormous head says he is our #2.

Bump



He's my #2

I need to see more as others have mentioned. Pass pro and the ability to get out in the flats, catch and make people miss etc...but he has qualities i like in a RB. Speed strength combo, can get skinny or bounce off tackles, runs with a purpose and authority and has shown some patience at times.
Ball security.

I like it!

That spin move was a thing of beauty. Definitely something that just comes naturally to a running back with above-average abilities. I think for sure he's our number 2 running back.

Watch how he pushes #86 out of his way.

Well, he certainly gets extra yards, just like Skip Peete likes.

Needed a block and showed 86 how to do it!

 

[BonifayRam]

Good enough to push Malcolm Brown & Justin Davis into the #3 & 4th RB depth chart.

 

[fearsomefour]

I like Brown, Kelly and Davis to round out the RB depth.

 

[fearsomefour]

Good enough to push Malcolm Brown & Justin Davis into the #3 & 4th RB depth chart.

I think Brown will start out getting the reps as the # 2 at first based on blocking and the smaller things.

 

[XXXIVwin]

Very

 

[ProGen]

John runs hard. He'll do some damage in the 4th (or on long drives) when the defense has had a gut full of Gurley all game. Exciting to potentially have a back up RB that compliments Gurley and the offense so well.

 

[ramfan46]

I want to see him more in the passing game. He's gonna be trouble 1 on 1 in the open field. He has a knack for making the 1st guy miss.

 

[Flint]

He’s got very quick feet which allows him to dictate the contact on his terms when the defense might not be ready for it. That can be the difference between running through a tackle and getting planted.

 

[A.J. Hicks]

Skateboarding has certainly helped him. His feet and balance are unreal.

 

[SeminoleRam]

Seminole,
What is it that you like about him? What have you seen on the vids that has impressed you?

BTW I did read somewhere that he broke over 30+ tackles last year. Playing in the SEC and considering that Kelly is not all that big that is rather impressive if you ask me.

I am certainly NO expert (I get my information from Highlights and Message Boards like ROD/Which IS my Favorite Rams Board!)
but I have been totally impressed with John Kelly ever since I started watching and reading about him! He just seems to have the Instincts, Vision, Cutting Ability, Determination and enough speed to be a very good RB in the NFL and I think Rams fans will be very happy having him backing up Todd Gurley!!!
