'Not Once' Did Robert Kelley Look Out Of Place In Starting Lineup

Redskins head coach Jay Gruden continued to highlight the positives of running back Robert Kelley at the NFL League Meetings, stating the 24-year-old is on track to be a "good back."

When Matt Jones was officially ruled out of the Washington Redskins’ Week 8 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals in London last season, it opened the door for third-string running back Robert Kelley to make his first career start.

Kelley, of course, wasn’t originally expected to be in the situation to start let alone be on the field last fall.
