Jim Kelly knows a thing or two or a million about quarterbacks. The 11-year vet was named to five Pro Bowls, one First Team All-Pro, and was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2002 following his career with the Buffalo Bills.
So when he talks, people listen.

The person he's touting - his nephew, Chad Kelly. Jim Kelly took to Instagram with a pointed message to NFL executives:
View this post on InstagramChad Kelly began his career at Clemson, but transferred to Ole Miss. He started his two years there, but had his 2016 season cut short because of a torn ACL. All told, he threw for 50 TDs against 21 INTs and completed 64% of his passes.
Charlie Cambell at WalterFootball has Kelly ranked as the ninth-based quarterback prospect in this draft, and projects him to be drafted in round six or seven, or possibly sign as a free agent.
Clearly, uncle Jim thinks he deserves more.
