  3. It's not available online. Enjoy! Buffalo's Kelsay speaks at Salvation Army event in Olean By Kate Day Sager Olean Times Herald OLEAN — When Buffalo Bills tight end Kevin Everett suffered a career-ending, life-threatening cervical spine injury in a 2007 game, defensive end Chris Kelsay lead the team in prayer on the field. Mr. Kelsay’s faith both on and off the field were discussed during his presentation to those gathered for the Salvation Army’s 2011 Annual Awards Dinner Wednesday at the Premier Banquet Center. The event was attended by Salvation Army Majors William and Cecelia Lynch, as well as advisory board members, volunteers and residents of the community. Musical entertainment was provided by Christina Lynch DeLorenzo, daughter of the Lynches. Mr. Kelsay, who has played for the Bills since 2003, said he found his way to God while at the University of Nebraska from 1998 to 2002. While he excelled in the classroom and on the field, he admitted that he wasn’t living his life the right way. “I was going out partying too much and chasing girls, the typical thing that college kids do,” Mr. Kelsay said. When he moved out of the dorms after his freshman year, a roommate led him in a different direction — toward God. Mr. Kelsay said while he wanted a life in Christ, he wasn’t certain he could measure up. He soon learned, however, that he could play on God’s terms. He said he later met a college girl named Natalie who would also share his faith and become his wife. After college, he was drafted by the Bills, the only pro team he has ever played for. He said met the team’s chaplain, Fred Raines, at the beginning of his career. “In the locker room, he doesn’t force anything upon you,” Mr. Kelsay said of Chaplain Raines. “He came up to me and invited me to Bible study 10 years ago, and we’ve been involved ever since.” Mr. Kelsay told the group that first and foremost he is a follower of Jesus Christ, and secondly he is a family man. “Football is down here,” he said while drawing a laugh from the audience by gesturing with his hands at his waist. “I wish we’d won a little bit more, but I think we’re on the right track,” he said of the Bills. During a question-and-answer session, Mr. Kelsay was asked if he found conflicts with his Christian faith and the violence sometimes experienced on the field. Mr. Kelsay stated that he plays the game with as much integrity as possible. “I think if you take the approach that you’re not out there to intentionally hurt somebody, you should have a fair conscience,” he remarked. Olean Mayor Linda Witte, an advisory board member, asked Mr. Kelsay what he would have done for his livelihood if he hadn’t played football. He replied that his degree is in finance. “I hope I never have to use that,” he added. Mr. Kelsay said he does entertain thoughts of entering the ministry or coaching kids someday after his football career is over. When asked how it was arranged for him to speak for the Salvation Army event, he said Chaplain Raines had set up the engagement. He noted he and some of the other Bills players also speak to youngsters during programs conducted at the Buffalo Christian Center. Chaplain Raines also addressed the group and said he has been with the Bills for the past 29 years and has seen nine coaching changes during that period. He noted that of a roster of approximately 53 players, 15 to 20 men have a “solid faith” in God. He said Mr. Kelsay has been a strong Christian leader among the other players. This was demonstrated when Mr. Everett was severely injured on the field during the Sept. 9, 2007, season-opening game. “Chris actually was the one who prayed with the whole team during the time” on the field, Chaplain Raines said.
