The Los Angeles Rams have one of the best running backs in the game currently on their roster in Todd Gurley, but injuries happen in the NFL. As a result, the Rams selected John Kelly out of Tennessee in the sixth round of the draft.

Kelly wasn’t one of the top running back prospects in the class, but he has a skill set that fits well with what the Rams want. He’s a good receiver out of the backfield, isn’t afraid of contact and can create big plays on his own.

Last season at Tennessee, he was extremely difficult to tackle. He finished the year with 778 yards on 189 attempts, scoring nine touchdowns. You can see some of his highlights in the video below.

#HelmetHornsMatter

“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.

“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
