BIOGRAPHY: Four years starter who led Kentucky and tackles last season posting 98/9/4. Junior totals included 63/.5/5 after 82 tackles as a sophomore.

POSITIVES: Kelley has flown under the radar screen in the scouting community, yet he is a linebacker who could back up in a one-gap system. He would help his cause if he shows improved play in pass coverage this summer.

NEGATIVES: Undersized, and very slow shedding blocks once engaged at the point. Marginal skills in coverage.

ANALYSIS: Explosive linebacker who flies around the field trying to make positive plays. Plays sideline-to-sideline, covers a good amount of area on the field and displays a good degree of quickness in his game. Works hard to make plays, fast to the flanks and a solid athlete. Fires up the field in run defense and does a nice job diagnosing plays. Possesses a burst of speed and flashes on the scene.

PROJECTION: FA
