No. 7–Malcolm Kelly

OU boys, they my brothers, they my friends.

Malcolm Kelly perhaps may be best known for his iconic freestyle after the Sooners’ win in the 2006 Big 12 Championship game, but the kid from Longview, Texas, was a smooth operator on the field as well.

Kelly’s best season was in 2006, when he had nearly 1,000 receiving yards on 62 receptions and caught 10 touchdowns. In all, he was responsible for 21 touchdowns as a Sooner. He was drafted in the second round of the 2008 NFL Draft by the Washington Redskins (now Comanders), where he spent his two seasons in the pros.

Kelly’s numbers could have been higher, but he was catching passes from Rhett Bomar, Paul Thompson and redshirt freshman Sam Bradford during his time in Norman. Still, his penchant for making acrobatic and contested catches lands him inside the top seven.
