Won't be surprised if M. Kelly gets moved to DB

Dabo hyped him at WR, but I was not that impressed with his offensive touches during the Spring Game. He doesn't look like he has the speed of Brown or the quickness of Antonio to be an effective slot guy in the way we like to use that position. I don't see him playing over Antonio, Brown, Stellato or Wesco. We also seem to lack a lot of depth at corner. A lot of guys are coming off injuries and you're just not sure what we'll be able to get out of them this year. It won't surprise me if Dabo inevitably moves him to the other side of the ball.

While I won't be surprised if he gets moved to DB, I fully expect he'll stay at WR. He's still a freshman (RS), so I don't expect him to overtake our experienced WRs like Antonio, Brown, or Stellato. Additionally, I don't even expect him to overtake first year freshman Wesco, or even first year freshman TJ Moore (who'll arrive this summer). I fully expect M. Kelly to continue to learn his trade & to gain incremental experience at WR to eventually take his place as a dependable WR (even if it is only as a reserve).

If he's too slow to play WR, he's too slow to play CB***

You don't have to be a burner to be an effective CB

You just need to be competitive, understand leverage, confident and have good technique. From what I hear, Tink's got a lot of the intangibles in spades. Gary Peters wasn't very fast, but he was a good corner for us in his latter years. I think he could help us this year at corner.

If he's not quick enough to play the slot, how does he have the recovery to play
