The Colts are serving as Chad Kelly‘s latest last chance

.And for his part Rock Ya-Sin Jersey , Kelly seems to realize that, or is at least saying the things that would indicate it.The former Broncos, former Ole Miss, former Clemson, former Last Chance U quarterback with a long string of off-field incidents is getting a shot in OTAs with the Colts, serving as their fourth quarterback while starter Andrew Luck is on the shelf with a calf strain.He was drafted by the Broncos on the recommendation of his uncle, former Bills quarterback Jim Kelly, and that link probably didn’t hurt with Colts coach and Jim’s longtime backup quarterback Frank Reich either.But after being released by the Broncos following a weird trespassing arrest, Chad Kelly wasn’t sure he’d get another shot.“I was living in Buffalo, living in my parents’ basement,” Kelly said, via Vic Carucci of the . “Just reflecting, reading the Bible, reading testimonies https://www.coltsfanshop.com/Le_Raven-Clark-Jersey , just reading different things to kind of clear my brain, to kind of refocus. To understand that you are lucky to play this great game – 20 years of hard work can be gone just like that. I have had two ACLs.“I have had multiple shakeups, but you know what, one thing is I am going to keep on bouncing back. Whether it’s yesterday, tomorrow, whatever the future might hold, but I am going to hit it straight on.”He made multiple religious references, which ought to play well with Reich (an ordained minister), and Reich said he spoke with Jim Kelly prior to bringing Chad in.“Whenever you take a person in Chad’s situation, it’s a case-by-case basis,” Reich said. “I felt like, from the tape that we saw, what the scouts thought [and] what we saw looking at the tape, the vetting that we did T.Y. Hilton Jersey , the people we talked to, it just felt like we would give Chad a chance here to come in and compete as the fourth guy coming in and felt comfortable at that point with it.”With his long list of troubles, Chad won’t be able to trade on his uncle’s name many more times, and his shot with the Colts is likely slim to begin with, as they have an entrenched backup in Jacoby Brissett and Phillip Walker ahead of him on the depth chart. It’s been nearly 21 years since the Indianapolis Colts took Peyton Manning with the No. 1 overall pick of the 1998 NFL Draft. But with Manning’s career now behind him, he had the chance to share a story about the days immediately following his entry into the NFL.According to Scott Horner of the , Manning told a story about the days leading up to his first mini-camp with the Colts in April, 1998.Manning said in the days before the start of mini-camp, the Colts put him into a Signature Inn with offensive coordinator Tom Moore and quarterback coach Bruce Arians to get a head start on learning the team’s playbook.“I was not allowed to go outside,” Manning said. “The blinds were drawn, and I learned the Colts offense in that Signature Inn, and I was ready to go at that mini-camp.”The jump-start learning sessions were almost certainly a skirting of NFL rules at the time.While Manning set an then-NFL record for touchdown passes by a rookie with 26 (matched by Russell Wilson in 2012 and just surpassed by Baker Mayfield in 2018), it didn’t manage to help the Colts win many games in 1998. The team still went just 3-13 in Manning’s rookie season before becoming one of the best teams in football over the next decade. Indianapolis would make the playoffs in 11 of the next 12 seasons with Manning at quarterback.
