Toronto’s backup quarterback played a pivotal role in the Argonauts’ stunning 24-23 upset win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. But with the start of the CFL team’s rookie camp Wednesday at the University of Guelph, Kelly said it’s time to look ahead and not live in the past.
However, Kelly did find a cool Grey Cup memento Tuesday when he opened his equipment bag for the first time since the game.The 6-foot-2, 216-pound Kelly came up huge in the Grey Cup. Replacing starter McLeod Bethel-Thompson in the fourth quarter, Kelly – the nephew of former Buffalo Bills star quarterback Jim Kelly – completed four-of-six passes for 43 yards.
Not since his final season at Ole Miss has Kelly been a starting quarterback. Following his college career, Kelly spent time in the NFL with the Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts before joining the Argos before last season.“I’ve got to prove it on the field and go out every day and just work extremely hard and get the guys to believe. And then get the guys who aren’t on the offensive side of the ball to play hard and believe in me too that I have their back and they have mine.
“I think the physical tools are there,” Dinwiddie said. “He’s just got to be consistent, take that next step, learn the offence inside out and take charge when we go into our no-huddle [and] I expect him to do that. “We’re not going to be as much dropback as we were with Mac,” Dinwiddie said. “We’ll have some quarterback runs for him.While he has a firm grasp on the starting job, Kelly is eager to show he’s worthy of the No. 1 job.
