Draft Rewind 2016: Ryan Kelly, Indianapolis Colts

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about RYAN KELLY: Alabama, 6040 311 5.07. Three-year starter from West Chester, OH. Makes all the live calls and seals the pursuit from advancing on the second level. Lacks a power presence. More of a finesse wall off and position blocker. Has a slender lower body and inconsistent knee bend. Overextends and goes to the ground more than a player with his athletic ability should. Struggles with his ability to stay balanced with knee bend when blocking on the move. Question his ability at times to regain body control and balance to get out of trouble. Plays in a zone blocking scheme and does a nice job on the second level leaking through the line to cut off backside pursuit. Kelly committed just one penalty in 1012 snaps with no holding calls. Loses his knee bend and plays high up on his toes at times. A center only type player who won the Rimington Award as the nation’s top center in 2015. He also tied for the Jacob’s Blocking Trophy, awarded to the SEC’s top blocker. Plays with good awareness. Did not give up a sack and only four hurries in 2015. Turned down a Senior Bowl invitation. Instinctive and physical in his play. Gets good hand placement on his target and controls with his hands. More of a box player than a space athlete. OSR:8/47. Third/fourth round. (A-33 5/8, H-9 5/8, BP-26, 10-1.76).
