Proven Illinois State edge-defender with tackle-for-loss pop
Kelly-Martin’s strongest case is his production as a disruptive linebacker: in 2018 he played all 11 games and posted 30 tackles, 1.5 sacks, four tackles for loss, and five quarterback hurries, building on a 2017 season with 38 tackles and five TFLs.[1] At 6-foot-3 and 225 pounds, he brings length and a track record of attacking the backfield, which makes him attractive for a defense that values edge pressure and reliable game-to-game involvement.[1][5] The main caveat is that the publicly available data is older, so his current form isn’t well documented in the sources here.[1][2]
