Buffalo Bills Hall of Fame quarterback announced last week his oral cancer had returned again. Kelly previously battled the disease in 2013 and 2015, having part of his upper jaw removed three years ago. On Friday and Saturday, Kelly spoke with Vic Carucci of The Buffalo News and later was feted at the Vince Lombardi Cancer Foundation awards in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he spoke publicly for the first time since his most recent diagnosis.
“I go, ‘Hey, I’m not dead. If I can still go, I’m going,’” Kelly told the crowd, where he received the Lombardi Foundation’s Award for Excellence.
