17. Jim Kelly
1986-1996
35,467 Yards, 237 Touchdowns, 175 Interceptions

Jim Kelly is one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history, and quite simply was one of the key players during the Buffalo Bills’ best days. He put up huge numbers in his relatively short career, and is very deserving of this spot in the rankings. There are some that would rank him lower and some that would rank him higher, but either way he is on most lists.

During his career, Kelly ended up being a five-time Pro Bowler, and also a first team All-Pro one season. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2002, and also led his team to four Super Bowl appearances. Unfortunately, he didn’t win a Super Bowl despite making it to the big game four times.

Kelly ended up compiling a 110-67 record throughout his NFL career, and also recorded a 9-8 playoff record. His best season came in 1991, throwing for 3,844 yards, 33 touchdowns, and 17 interceptions.
