Alright Missile... you've harped on this Young kid too much. He was a rookie last year who had limited playing time other than ST bc we had two big $$ starting CB's out there. On ST punts, ever notice who the first guy was in front of the receiver EVERY TIME??? U Young. He is raw, talented, hard working and from a development standpoint, is continuing to make big strides.

Coaches love this kid for who he will be. So, like Meach, I think we all reserve judgment until he's actually playing in his role.

Do you even know who he played against this season?

Rowell said McKelvin's performance in Troy's upset win over Oklahoma State at Movie Gallery Veterans Stadium was the game that caught the attention of many NFL scouts. In that game, he had seven solo tackles, forced a fumble, broke up three passes and had one tackle for a loss on defense. He also returned five punts for 135 yards and one touchdown.

McKelvin seemed to play his best against Troy's toughest opponents. Against Arkansas, he had nine tackles (seven solos) and five kickoff returns for 127 yards. Against Florida, he picked up six unassisted tackles and had seven kickoff returns for 134 yards. He added seven unassisted tackles and 121 yards on six kickoff returns against Georgia.
