"West Week had a great spring," Kelly said. "Not a 'good spring' but a 'great spring.'"

"I think you are going to have a presence of all the guys. There are enough reps for everybody. We are going to keep them fresh and active. They are all going to impact what we do. I think if there is an area that we have depth and a high level of confidence in, it's at the linebacker position right now. I feel really good about it."

Kelly also said he feels really good about the edge, in terms of defensive ends and is happy with the progress that is being made in the secondary.

As for the defensive tackle position, Kelly said that is a spot they will need to continue to recruit and develop and will be the only position they target in the transfer portal.
