As the Bills head into the playoffs with their best quarterback since Jim Kelly, they took a look at Jim Kelly’s nephew.
On Monday, Chad Kelly auditioned with Bills.
A pick of the seventh round of the Broncos in 2017, Kelly at one point worked his way to position 2 on the depth chart in Denver before an off-field issue involving a Halloween party, alcohol, wandering around a house and being kicked out with a vacuum cleaner resulted in the Broncos being cut.
Kelly spent 2019 with the Colts before being released in 2020 and signing with the training team. In late September, the Colts dismissed him from the training team.
It is likely that Bills is not looking at Kelly for the postseason, but for the off-season of 2021. Or perhaps the training was a courtesy to his uncle at a time when the positivity around the team is as high as there years. Even so, the test happened. Where it goes from here is yet to be seen.
