Kelly said:

Feels good to be rewarded. I want to live up to the contract I signed. Go out every single day, be the leader on the offensive line they know I can be. Play with the consistency I can play with and stay healthy. Those are the things that drive me every single day.

This deal makes Kelly the highest-paid center in the league and ties him to Indianapolis for the next five seasons.

Ryan adds:

One thing I’ve learned in this business is even when you’re the highest-paid you’re going to be the highest-paid for a week, a year, somebody is going to jump you eventually. It’s not something you want to be dealing with on the middle of the season. I’m glad it got done.

Kelly, the 18th overall choice in 2016 out of Alabama, has started all 51 games in which he has appeared during his career. He has one Pro Bowl appearance.
