Shelley

Shelley is severely undersized at 5-foot-9, 163 pounds, though he does boast 4.45 speed. PFF College charted him with the second-lowest passer rating allowed when targeted among Big 12 CBs in 2018 (52.0). Shelley was productive and effective in a pass-happy conference, but he will have to establish himself as a special teamer/grinder before getting a shot in the slot.

His failure to appear stems due to citations for having no proof of liability insurance, an expired tag and owning a vehicle that isn’t registered. He was freed after posting a $500 bond. Shelley (5'9/180) has missed the last two games because of a leg injury, but before that was playing extremely well, ranking among the Big-12 leaders in several categories. There’s no word yet on when Shelley can return from the leg injury, and no word yet on whether or not there will be disciplinary action for the recent arrest.

Shelley (5'9/180) was excellent against the Cowboys, and Pro Football Focus was also highly complimentary of the senior cornerback’s effort. “It was a breakout game for Shelley who entered the season graded as a priority free agent but played non-descript football the first month,” Pauline writes. “Shelley measures under 5-feet, 9-inches which puts him at a disadvantage but offers solid ball skills and ability as a return specialist.” Pauline believes that Kelley could be a dime back at the next level, and also contribute on special teams.
