Radiation and chemotherapy treatments for sinus cancer have taken away Jim Kelly's hair and he's dropped 51 pounds, but the former Buffalo Bills quarterback hasn't lost his sense of humor.
After taking one question Tuesday morning at his one-day football camp at St. John Fisher College, the Pro Hall of Famer acted as if the interview was done and turned to walk away. He was joking, of course.
"I was a kid once and I know what it's like to look forward to doing something and look forward to meeting somebody," Kelly, 54, said, explaining that while he feels fatigued he couldn't stay away from Fisher, where the Bills open training camp on Friday.
"I want to make a difference in these kids' lives, not only on the field but from what I'm going to tell them later on about the choices they make as young adults that can impact what they become," Kelly said.
"If you say you're going to be there, you be there," he added about attending the camp. "That's pretty much how I was raised."
