Sam's Film Room: Can Robert Kelley keep his job as the Redskins starting RB?

Running back Robert Kelley couldn’t do enough to get selected in the draft when he was coming out of Tulane this year, but did just enough things right to have the Washington Redskins sign him afterwards. As most undrafted free agents go, Kelley had low odds to make the final roster, and yet he did that and much more after Kelley impressed in the preseason by showcasing excellent vision with an innate ability to make defenders miss.

Flash forward to the regular season and Redskins' starter Matt Jones was struggling with ball security. Backup Chris Thompson is a dynamic third down back, but can’t stay healthy enough to take first and second down carries.
