Kelly opted to play for the USFL's Houston Gamblers rather than go to Buffalo following the draft. Operating in a run-and-shoot offense, Kelly was the USFL's MVP in 1984. When the USFL folded in 1986, Kelly joined the Bills, with whom he led to unprecedented success. Kelly was a five-time Pro Bowl selection. Kelly engineered the team's "K-Gun" no-huddle offense, which Buffalo rode to four consecutive Super Bowl appearances. Kelly was a 2002 inductee into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
