    After Day 1 of Rookie Camp - Cardale Jones Works With Jim Kelly

    Kelly works with Jones long after practice ended. Will continue to help him going forward.

    How can that not be a good thing ? Thank you JK and to Jones for putting in the work.

    Certainly can't hurt. Hopefully the two work together in the film room also.

      I read they were working on footwork. Jones needs a lot of mentoring. Not sure we have the QBs on the roster for that. So, why not have the 56 year old former QB work with him?

        I understand that Doug Flutie was working on footwork recently as well.

          Don't watch much reality TV. How is it working out for him?

              did the two really work out for awhile after practice? The news made it sound like they were just talking for a few minutes.

                I heard rumors Jones is sleeping in Kelly's utility room. Jim wakes him every 45 minutes to throw footballs at anything in the house, everything labeled with a point value. If Jones gets enough points in 30 seconds he gets a sandwich and is allowed 5 more minutes of sleep per cycle.

                I have personal experience of Kelly doing this, I went there to cut his grass once, didn't leave for a week after having to accumulate enough points. The sandwiches are real good though and frankly, his utility room is quite comfortable.

                  Anything that Kelly can teach Jones would be ideal. His footwork, body weight shifts, steps, and release all need to improve prior to camp. He needs to develop confidence in that process so it becomes muscle memory so that he can deliver passes with accuracy.

                    Thought this is part of Kelly's front office role.

                      This stuff is overrated. Jim Kelly isn't going to do squat for him. It's 2016 not 1993. If the kid is good then he's good.

                        I think that's an understatement. Kelly isn't going to make the kids career, but unlike coaches Kelly may be able to spend more time with the kid and help teach him fundamentals.

                        In the end it will be on Lee and Palmer to get him ready for the NFL.

                          Lets hope he can teach him all that stuff that goes into being a QB other than just being able to throw long.

                          Sarcasm off.

                            I'd say his presence would be more of an inspiration to a young man than the teaching of any fundamentals. He's a HOF, he's "walked the walk".

                              If nothing else, it shows that Cardale is willing to put in as much work as possible to become better.
