It's jelly time.

Kid just needs a crease. Runs with great energy, burst and balance. Excited to see him next year with Chandler in, hopefully, a much better passing offense. Also, he has nearly as many rushing yards as Hurd this season despite less than half the carries.

Yeah, I get that. I just wondered if it has been his nickname since childhood or something.

Personally, I like JFK better than Jelly.

JFK does insinuate badazz

So where did this "Jelly" nickname start? I've heard it for a couple of weeks, just curious.

Travis stephens vfl34 was first person i heard call him jelly.

That's what I'm talking about! :rock:

 

[jbr82]

Needs at least....20 carries.a.game....like yesterday. Great back!

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

I feel vindicated! Early on, I pegged Jalen Hurd as a tight end, and John Kelly as a star running back. John Kelly brings real excitement to this team. What a player!

My buddies and I have started calling him JFK, for John F-ing Kelly!!!
I like it better than jelly.

I heard Clay Travis started the Jelly nickname. Reason enough for me to ignore it.

But the players on the OL call him little crazy legs. I can embrace a player created nickname over one created by a jackass.

First one I saw refer to him as Jelly was Travis Stephens...and it was a typo that he ended up embracing.

I think you and McDad are right. Travis did use it first. I had not read or heard it untill after I saw VFL34's post.
