00:00The Giants found their Chase Blackburn in the sixth round of this NFL Draft.
00:04That's the 193rd overall pick, BYU linebacker Jack Kelly.
00:09If you're a Giants or a Patriots fan, then you know exactly who and what I'm talking about here.
00:15It's that overachieving core special teamer that steps in when needed
00:21and makes some big plays and some big moments at the linebacker position as well.
00:266'1", 240. Again, he'll be that core special teamer and even a special team captain for Chris Horton.
00:33And I think he's going to carve out a role in Denard Wilson's defense as a versatile,
00:39instinctive linebacker who can read and react real quickly and then get after the football.
00:44So in this Blue Rush Draft profile, I want you guys to see for yourself the energy that this kid
00:51plays with
00:52and how he can be used as a plug-and-play piece in multiple units for the Giants
00:58for not only this season, but for ones to come as well.
01:01Look, I'm not putting this kid in the Pro Bowl conversation right now.
01:05I mean, you see the plays he make.
01:07Maybe he makes a Pro Bowl as a special teamer in his first year.
01:10But if you've watched this kid's game long enough and you've watched the breakdown that I did,
01:16then you know that players who stick around the NFL, they aren't always the most talented ones.
01:23They're the most reliable ones.
01:25And that's what this kid is.
01:27Chase Blackburn won two Super Bowl rings by doing just that right here in New York.
01:34Jack Kelly has a chance to write his own version of that story,
01:37and that's what makes the draft special.
01:40So that's the Blue Rush Draft Spotlight.
01:42I'm Brandon London.
01:44Keep watching, Blue Blue.
