Jim Kelly is perhaps the greatest player ever to wear a Bills uniform. The former quarterback lead the team to four straight Super Bowl appearances in the early 90s. He is one of numerous Hall-Of-Famers who played on the team. No team, either before or since, have ever reached four straight Super Bowls.

If anyone knows how to get through adverse times, it's Kelly. He is in good health after a long battle with cancer that required multiple surgeries on his jaw to keep down. Through it all, Kelly has remained active in the communities in Buffalo, helping lead the city through difficult times with the same passion he led the team during his playing days.

After what we all witnessed Monday night, Hamlin will never lack for support again, especially with people like Kelly by his side.
