Derrick Kelly, OG, Florida State #74
6046, 323, 5.36
Notes: From Gretna, FL. Redshirted in 2014. Appeared in 6 games, making 4 starts at right tackle, before suffering a season-ending injury, in 2015. Played in 5 games, starting 2, in 2016. Started all 13 games, seeing action at left tackle and left guard, in 2017.
Positives: Big, versatile lineman who has seen time at both guard and both tackle spots. Excellent size with good athletic ability for a big man. Long arms. Can engulf and stalemate defenders at the line of scrimmage. Gets movement at the point of attack. Wide base on pass protection.
Negatives: Has trouble redirecting quickly in space. Struggles with elite speed and quickness on pass protection. Could use continued technique development.
Summary: Solid prospect with some continued upside.
