Two Bills Drive

‘"We like him a lot and we are glad that he was there for our second pick. We think that Chris is a very good athlete for a DE. He’s going to bring some toughness to our team, which we are trying to get better at. He’s intelligent and he plays the game with a lot of passion and that’s also what we are trying to add to our team."’

‘"I’m looking forward to it. I know they have a great offense and they are rebuilding the defense and picking up a few guys here and there. They are going to be in contention, and they have a lot of potential. I feel very honored to be a part of that and I’m looking forward for what’s in store for our future. I was kinda caught off guard when they (the Bills) picked a running-back. But, I’ve talked to the Bills a couple times and their media has gotten a hold of me a couple times. So I thought that there was some interest and I feel very grateful that they drafted me."’

‘"I’m expecting to go in the first round," he said. "I know I’m not going to go the second pick like I was supposed to, but all the things I did and how hard I’m working, I should be back in the first round."’

‘Everyone tells Jannie Jones that her son, Willis McGahee, lost $10 million the night Ohio State safety Will Allen pummeled him in the national championship game, leaving the University of Miami’s greatest tailback with three torn knee ligaments and his NFL career in jeopardy.’

‘”His quickness off the line of scrimmage is remarkable and at times, it seems as if he knows the snap count better than the offensive linemen,” said draft analyst Patrick Kerney.’

‘Kiper has him going to the 49ers with the 26th pick in the first round. Rick Gosselin of the Dallas Morning News has him going to Denver with the 20th.’

Watch highlights from the season.

‘I’ve been told I could be picked anywhere from the middle of the first round to the end of the first round.’

‘I have a pretty good idea what to expect at the Combine. I know it is not going to be a lot of fun. I’m planning on a tiresome, grueling three or four days. But I know how important it is. Right now I’m hearing I could go as high as the middle of the first round, but there is still a long time before the draft. Grant Wistrom went into the combine projected in the middle of the first round a few years ago, had a great combine and ended up being picked sixth.’

‘I interviewed with about 20 or 25 teams during the Combine and I had interviewed with about 10 at the Senior Bowl, so I think I’ve talked to all 32 teams. The interviews were much more organized than what I’d heard about in the past. They ran from 6 to 11 in the evening. Every morning you got a card with the time of your interviews. It listed the team, the room number and the time of the interview. The interviews could not last longer than 15 minutes, so everything was kept on a tight schedule.’

‘I don’t have a real good feel yet for which team will end up taking me in the draft. The teams that have worked me out recently all seem very interested, but it is really hard to tell. One of the teams I felt most confident about (Kansas City), just signed a free agent defensive end, so you never can tell. My goal is just to get drafted as high as possible and play a role this season.’

‘Saturday morning, I’m hoping to sleep in a little bit, get up and eat a big meal and then just head to the couch and watch the draft like anyone else. Hopefully, I’ll hear my name called somewhere in the first round. I think every team gets 20 minutes for their pick in the first round, so it will be a long process.’

‘Q: What kind of player/person will the NFL be getting in you? A: I would say they are getting a good person, smart, hard worker, and someone that will give his all to help his team win. Where ever I go I just to keep getting better as a player and strive to do the best job possible for that team.’

‘In his final collegiate season, Kelsay started every game at right end and collected a career-high 52 tackles. He also had 12 quarterback pressures and a forced fumble.’

Has good athleticism with above average speed, quickness, body control and change of direction agility for his position…Has explosive acceleration off the snap… Plays with proper knee bend and leverage, flashing the ability to jolt the offensive linemen coming on the pass rush.
