Browns sign RB John Kelly to reserve/futures contract

Kelly is the 15th player from the Browns 2020 practice squad to sign a reserve/futures contract

The Browns signed another familiar face from the 2020 season to a reserve/futures contract. Cleveland locked up running back John Kelly to the list.

He is the 15th player the Browns signed to the reserve/futures list, which is a commitment to a player to sign him to a contract with the team once the current league year ends. Kelly spent time on the Browns’ practice squad during the 2020 season, something he has in common with the other 14 players on the list.

Kelly was a sixth-round pick in the 2018 NFL draft by the Los Angeles Rams after playing collegiately at Tennessee. The 5-10, 205-pound Kelly ran the ball 30 times for 83 yards in two seasons in Los Angeles.
