"The good thing about this offense and this defense that these guys are going to use is they can adapt to what the player can do," said Nix. "So we’re not going to draft a player to fit a mold that we think with this offense. They’re going to adjust the offense to what the quarterback can do or what an offensive tackle can do. I think it has that much flexibility. I was impressed with that on both sides of the ball, and that makes the job a little easier for us."

"I’ve had four major surgeries in the last two years," Kelly says matter-of-factly. "Major back surgery, plates and screws in my back two years ago. Five months after that double-hernia surgery. Then 12/12/12 at 12 o’clock I had major neck surgery where they had to replace three disks in my neck and put a plate and six screws in my neck. And then a week and a half ago they found a major cyst from my gums to my nasal cavity and they had to cut that out — the size of a nickel — and they had to pull out all of my front teeth."
