Kelly announced his retirement from the NFL through his personal X account Friday.

Kelly will step away from the game after a 10-year NFL career that started when he was selected in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft by the Colts. He signed a two-year contract with the Vikings in March of 2025 but suffered three concussions during the regular season, which limited him to eight games. Kelly was a four-time Pro Bowl selection and was a Second-Team All-Pro in the 2020 season while playing for Indianapolis.
