Kelly Disappoints

How interested were the Buffalo Bills in WR Malcolm Kelly's workout today? Interested enough to send two coaches, Offensive Coordinator Turk Schonert and WR Coach Tyke Tolbert, to Oklahoma to watch Kelly. They could not have been impressed with what they saw. Kelly previously had been clocked in the mid 4.5s in his 40-yard dash time. Today, he ran 4.68 and 4.75. The Bills and other NFL teams could probably handle a 4.5, but much slower than that could be a problem. Kelly had plenty of excuses afterwards, telling reporters at OU that his workout was "terrible." He blamed the Field Turf, which he said he did not want to run on. And he hinted that some OU coaches deceived him about the extent of his thigh injury last January, telling him it was only a bruise. Kelly discovered at the Senior Bowl he actually had a torn thigh muscle, and that's why he didn't play in that game, and hasn't run until now. The upshot? The Bills may still be interested in Malcolm Kelly, but probably not as a first round selection. I still have a feeling they'll go with a cornerback with the 11th overall pick.
