Texans' Jermaine Kelly making up for lost time
For his entire rookie season, Texans cornerback Jermaine Kelly was sidelined with a torn hamstring that required surgery to repair the damage.
Drafted in the seventh round out of San Jose State a year ago, Kelly is now essentially getting a do-over from his lost rookie season.
"Jermaine's basically a rookie," Texan coach Bill O'Brien said. "He didn't play last year at all. He was hurt in training camp, so this is really his rookie year. So, just like any rookie, he's still got a long way to go but he works hard. He's got a good attitude, he shows up every day and he tries to get better every day."
Big, strong and fast at 6-1, 195 pounds, Kelly is a physical, mobile athlete.
