Kyu Blu Kelly drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in the 2023 NFL Draft
USA TODAY Sports

Kyu Blu Kelly burst onto the scene a year ago thanks to his performance that saw him lockdown USC receiver Drake London who is now with the Atlanta Falcons.

His success and tenacity in man coverage had many scouts thinking and projecting that he could be a late first or early second round pick heading into the 2022 season. Unfortunately for Kelly, the Cardinal defense and he himself struggled this past year en route to a three win season.

However, the skillet is still something that translates to the NFL as Kelly was selected by the Baltimore Ravens in the fifth round with the No. 157 pick. 

Throughout his career he racked up 147 total tackles, three interceptions, with 26 pass deflections in four years.
