After college, Kelly went undrafted in the 2019 NFL Draft and did not sign with a team. However, in 2020, he signed with the Tampa Bay Vipers of the XFL. He started all eight games with the Vipers with 23 tackles, and eight passes defended. After the XFL suspended operations, Kelly signed with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
