Class of 2015 RB John Kelly who graduated from Oak Park High School and declared for the NFL Draft last year out of Tennessee, will be looking to help the LA Rams become Super Bowl LIII champions on Sunday.

John Kelly was drafted #176 overall in the 6th round of the 2018 NFL Draft by the LA Rams and finished the 2018 regular season with 27 carries for 74 yards as he was the teams 7th leading rusher during the regular season and was 4th among RB's.

John Kelly recorded a tackle on special teams in the Rams 30-22 win over Dallas earlier this post-season and has been a regular contributor on special teams since week 8.

When Kelly's number is called on in Super Bowl LIII, look for Kelly to come up with a key tackle or forced fumble or maybe he might score his first rushing TD of his NFL career.

As a high school recruit, the Vols were the last college to offer Kelly in November of his Senior season. Kelly committed later in January and signed with the SEC program over Big 10 offers from: Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Maryland and Iowa.
