Underrated ASU dual-threat who won games and protected the ball
Taylor Kelly was a steady, efficient Arizona State quarterback whose best calling cards were production, poise, and toughness: in 2014 he finished with a school-record 10,223 career yards of total offense, added 1,404 rushing yards by a QB, and kept interceptions low, which helped ASU reach back-to-back 10-win seasons and three straight bowls.[1][10] He was the kind of quarterback coaches liked because he improved consistently, made smart decisions, and could extend plays with his legs, though his game was more reliable than flashy.[5][9]
