Jason Kelce

OG, C · Cincinnati
Kelce worked himself from a walk-on linebacker to potential NFL contributor in five short years. He won the team's Defensive Scout Player of the Year award during a 2006 redshirt season, but made the move to offensive line in 2007 preseason practice, seeing the switch as a path to get onto the field immediately. He nine games at center and guard, and also made three special teams tackles on the year. Kelce then stepped into the starting spot for the next 26 games at left guard, helping build one of the more prolific offenses in the country, before moving to center as a senior and earning his second straight selection as a second-team all-conference pick. There's little not to like about Kelce's toughness, footwork and leadership. There are scouts who won't like his relatively svelte build, limiting his value to the teams using zone-blocking schemes. But it only takes one team to appreciate his Tom Nalen-like skills for him to end up a late-round pick.
