KAREEM KELLY

Position: WR Class: Sr School: Southern Cal Conference: Pac-10 Ht., Wt.: 6'0, 186 40 Time: 4.45 Grade: 3.59 Selected by New Orleans Saints Round 6, pick 30 (203 overall)

BIO: Track and field sprint champion that moved into the starting lineup as a true freshman. Caught 46 passes for 605 yards with four scores as a senior, garnering All-Conference consideration. Junior totals were 49-801-3 after career numbers of 55-796-4 the prior year. Made a major impact as a true freshman when he caught 54-902-4 and named Pac-10 Offensive Freshman of the Year. POSITIVES: Speedy wide-out who has never taken his game to the next level. Tremendous athlete that displays quickness, speed, and explosion in all aspects of his game. Excellent route runner and sharp in or out of his breaks, stays low on exit then gets separation from defenders. Uses his body to shield away opponents adjusting to the errant throw and catching the ball with his hands. Fast, possesses a second gear and top end speed. Easily makes the reception running full tilt and does not break stride or lose momentum grabbing the ball out of the air. To his credit improved both his intensity and consistency as a senior. NEGATIVES: Not quick releasing off the line, gave half-hearted efforts in the past and prone to losing his focus on the field. Until his senior season displayed inconsistency as well as a lot of immaturity. ANALYSIS: Has tremendous innate skills that translate well to the next level; a pass catcher who can be a one-man show when focused on the task at hand. Seemingly toned down his act last year and began to make football a priority but it remains to be seen if he'll continue that path. PROJECTION: Early Fourth Round
