JimmiJo Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 http://www.warpathconfidential.com/?p=867 Kelly looking to make his mark By John Pappas Warpath Confidential Editor Malcolm Kelly has something to prove. The second year receiver for the Washington Redskins is out to show that he is the player the team thought they were getting when they drafted him 51st overall in the second round of the 2008 NFL draft. Last season was one problem after another for Kelly. He came into camp having issues with his left knee, and hoping it would improve. Early on, it was apparent the knee wasn’t getting better. He had arthroscopic surgery in early August. His first game back against New Orleans, he sprained his left ankle. A stomach virus next kept him out against Arizona. After, another knee injury would sideline him for five more games. And after playing against Seattle and the Giants, yet another knee injury kept Kelly on the inactive list for the rest of the year. In all, Kelly would be inactive for 11 weeks of the season. He would play in five games, catching three passes for 18 yards. Not the kind of performance he was looking for in his rookie year. “I couldn’t stand it last year,” said Kelly following the New England game last week. “Going to practice, practicing all week, knowing you’re not going to play on the weekend. And then on the weekend just going home and chillin’ at the house. It was kind of me against the world last year. Click the link to read the entire article...

Blackest Eyes Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 If Kelly is the no. 2 receiver, I think he will be the possession receiver we have needed for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdskn4Lyf21 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 If Kelly is the no. 2 receiver, I think he will be the possession receiver we have needed for a while. I'm still dying to see him and Marko lined up in the red zone during the regular season....that'll be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinking Skins Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I don't know. That article kinda depressed me reminding me of all the injuries last year. I'm so hopeful that he will stay healthy, but I don't know. I'm starting to have my doubts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
