Bills Hall of Famer Jim Kelly Game Day Socks

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS  Quarterback Jim Kelly was selected in the first round of the 1983 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills. Kelly decided instead to sign with the Houston Gamblers of the United States Football League. The Miami Hurricane star, in two seasons with the Gamblers, threw for 9,842 yards and 83 touchdowns. The USFL toppled following the 1985 season, and Kelly, just prior to the start of the 1986 NFL season, finally signed with the Bills. In 11 seasons with Buffalo, Kelly led the Bills to the playoffs eight times. In 17 playoff game appearances, including four consecutive Super Bowls, he passed for 3,863 yards and 21 touchdowns. Kelly’s stats are up there with icons. By the time of Kelly's retirement, only Dan Fouts, Johnny Unitas, and Fran Tarkenton among Hall of Fame quarterbacks had passed for more yardage, and only Tarkenton, and Fouts had accomplished more passes. .   G Att Comp Pct Yds TD Int Rating Att Yds Avg TD Career Total 160 4,779 2,874 60.1 35,467 237 175
