Bills coach Dick Jauron said today he has no problem with the health of Oklahoma wide receiver Malcolm Kelly, whose knees have become a question mark heading into the draft. Kelly is a prime candidate to be picked by the Bills at No. 11 overall - if he's healthy. He already has visited Buffalo. Kelly's agent, Chad Speck, sent a letter to all 32 teams Monday saying that Kelly is in good health. Kelly did not run at the combine workouts in February due to what was reported as a deep thigh bruise. He actually had a small tear in the quadriceps (the front of the thigh), the agent said. Speck also sent a letter from a doctor attesting to Kelly's healthy. Kelly tore a knee ligament in junior high school and had arthroscopic knee surgery during his sophomore year. He has had a productive career at Oklahoma and has not missed any game action due to knee problems.

Asked about Kelly's knees, Jauron said today: "We feel good about it. Our staff was in Indianapolis with everybody else. There's nothing I'm aware of (that's a problem) at this point." The key date is April 9. That's when Kelly is scheduled to run for pro scouts.
