Rex Ryan takes entire Bills team to Jim Kelly’s golf tournament (Photos)
The Buffalo Bills won’t hold practice Monday, but head coach Rex Ryan has found a worthy replacement.
Ryan and the entire team attended Jim Kelly’s charity golf tournament in Batavia, New York, Monday morning. Kelly, the Bills’ Hall of Fame quarterback, announced that the team was coming at the event’s gala on Sunday evening.
By the looks of it, Ryan has a pretty smooth swing.
According to ESPN.com, the team attending Kelly’s tournament counts as an organized team activity, meaning the team has completed four of 10 OTAs this spring.
Kelly has held the event for the past 29 years but was absent last year while undergoing treatment for cancer.
“Thank the Good Lord for allowing me to be here today,” Kelly, who has been cancer-free since August, said Sunday per ESPN.com. “It’s so good to see my friends and see people I haven’t seen in over a year, because I was not here last year at this time.”
Kelly’s golf tournament raises money for his charity, which benefits disabled and disadvantaged youth in western New York. Kelly said it “feels good” to be back at the event.
“I feel good,” Kelly said. “And it’s good because after last year, the money we were able to give out to all the charities, that makes you feel good because even though I couldn’t be here, it continued, it moved on and we are still making a difference.”
