The most prolific quarterback in Buffalo Bills history received some great news today.

Jim Kelly, who was in a fight for his life against cancer and successfully fought it off -- donning the "Kelly Tough" moniker that became so popular amongst the family and fan base, has been revealed to be cancer-free for the 18th month in a row.

His daughter, Erin, made the announcement Tuesday morning on Twitter:

 

 

Kelly was declared to have been cancer-free, after his second bout with the life-threatening disease, in August of 2014. Since then, doctors have been unable to find traces of cancer in Kelly's body.
