Kelsey is exactly what you are looking for when recruiting or drafting an inside linebacker. He has been one of the most reliable linebackers that Louisville has had since Preston Brown. Kelsey should follow in Brown’s footsteps of becoming one of the better inside linebackers in the National Football League.

He is a guy who can lead the whole team in tackles, make the big play, lead his teammates, and play until the whistle. He is always going to give the coaches and fans his best effort, which is what makes him special.

He is a very smart guy and that will going a long way in helping him understand the offensive schemes at the next level. I also think he is a guy who can handle the pressure of being the guy to communicate the defensive play-calls to his teammates.

Next: Number Five

While Kelsey is probably not a first round pick, he should be taken in the second or third round if this upcoming NFL Draft.
