Just How Good Is RB John Kelly?

The way John Kelly ran in college is translating to the NFL.

The Rams got a gem drafting this kid :yess:

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

He had good blocking on some of those but also he looked really fast really elusive and very quick hitting those holes and creases.

We all know you have to go with the home-run possibility over the maybe make it to first base guy.

I don't follow college football that much, (just Clemson and the real USC) but I posted on here after the draft;
you have to see this kid's highlight real.
He looks legit.

He's pretty good. I'm not sure if his blocking is ready to be the #2 back. McVay is likely as concerned about protecting Goff as he is about the rushing ability of the #2 back.

For one year, Zac Stacy was damn good. Tre Mason was damn good. Kelly will not be Gurley. Gurley has hall of fame potential.

I would still tell Kelly that he has Hall of Fame potential.
Now that would be a Back Field.
Two potential Hall of Famers.

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

I agree totally. Now by halfway through the season i see him a chance to surpass Brown by ability and touching up on his random skills and knowledge that isnt so apparent.

Soul do you order your Kool Aid by the keg or just case 30 pack it? :rolllaugh:

I contested when this all started that Davis and Kelly should challenge for the #2. It was a shame to see Davis get hurt. We have some real talent. Kelly was number three. Brown was number two. He turned in his wings.
Now, Kelly is number two. But you remember one thing: if Kelly screws up he'll be driving a truck full of dog shit.

But, seriously, I like his attitude, passion, and the chip on his shoulder he runs with. Just another great find for Les Snead's staff. Remember, this is the kid who couldn't even talk on the phone, when he received the call from McVay and staff. He just broke down and cried. He appreciates his chance.

Nice job resurrecting this post.

Positivity and hoping he believes in himself is not Kool Aid.
I remember that long talk I had with Kurt Warner right after Trent Green had his knee tore up;

I said Kurt, "What if I told you that YOU are going to be better than Trent and take the Rams to a Superbowl this year !?!".

And look what happened.

Well he will be on another team after his rookie contract is up that is for sure. Worthy of 10+ touches a game. Happy to have him!
