The Buffalo Bills posted the video onto their twitter account. Patients at the hospital were even excited, some even teared-up when the Hall of Fame quarterback arrived.
While visiting ECMC, Kelly told patients to, "never give up and keep fighting until the end."
Kelly first underwent surgery in 2013 to remove squamous cell carcinoma in his jaw. He was treated at the hospital in Buffalo.
The former Bills quarterback announced his oral cancer had returned back in March. He later had surgery on his neck and mouth and underwent surgery again in New York City.
MRI scans in July showed Kelly was cancer-free, the same month he received the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance at the 2018 ESPYS.
