In accepting the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance at the 2018 ESPYS, Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly urged fans Wednesday evening at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles to make a difference in others' lives by keeping a smile on their face.
Kelly's award was presented by ESPN broadcaster Chris Berman, as well as fellow Hall of Fame quarterbacks John Elway and Dan Marino, who along with Kelly were selected in the first round of the 1983 draft.
Kelly was accompanied to the stage by his daughters, Erin and Camryn, and thanked each for their support during his ongoing battle with oral cancer.
