Coach Jim Zorn finally made it official after practice, announcing that second-year wide receiver Malcolm Kelly is the new starting flanker opposite split end Santana Moss. "He's gone all training camp really improving along the way," Zorn said. "His overall explosion off the line of scrimmage has been very good. I can't tell you everybody just stepped back and watched him go. But we're going to give him the opportunity to be out there." After being limited to only five games in his rookie season because of knee problems, Kelly said he views the 2009 season as a new beginning for him. Kelly began camp behind fellow second-year wide receiver Devin Thomas and veteran Antwaan Randle El.
