Jack Kelly emerged as a versatile linebacker for BYU over three productive seasons, developing from a raw special teams contributor into a reliable starter in the Cougars' 3-4 base defense. His best attribute is his football IQ and instinctive feel for the game, consistently showing up around the ball with timely tackles and coverage plays. Kelly's motor never stops, displaying the kind of relentless pursuit that coaches love, though his athletic limitations prevent him from being an every-down player at the NFL level. His value projection centers around special teams excellence and depth linebacker duties, with enough coverage ability to contribute in sub-packages.
