Bills Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly didn’t want to dive back into his recent controversial comments about the future of coach Rex Ryan, but said something that was even more important to Bills fans.
Via Jack Woods of the Buffalo News, Kelly said he was feeling much stronger than he has during his battle with cancer, enough so that he can get back to throwing the football around with the kids at his annual camp.
“I feel awesome,” Kelly said. “I’m at playing weight. I’m at 230, which is cool. I gained a little over 30 pounds back, which is good. I got the green light to work out now, which is good. I just started back. Hopefully I’ll get a bit stronger.”
“I’ve been through so much. I just live each day, and whatever happens, happens. I’ve lived a very good life. My life has definitely changed, but the attitude is still the same.”
He joked that he’s starting with the youngest players at his camp, and working his way up the ranks to gauge his progress.
“The more I get loose, the more I’ll start going up, maybe with the seniors,” Kelly said. “I will do it with the seniors because they’re already talking their crap. I’ll have to go out and show them what an old man can do.”
The fact he’s able to get out there and throw — and talk a little trash — is an excellent sign for one of Buffalo’s true icons.
