Jim Kelly backs nephew Chad with Instagram post

NFL Draft prospect Chad Kelly is getting some serious support at a time when he could really use it.

Kelly’s uncle, Hall of Fame QB Jim Kelly, shared this Instagram post on Saturday in which he went to bat for his nephew.

“His work ethic is unmatched. He will be back stronger than ever,” Jim said.

Here’s the post:

Just an FYI for all NFL executives. Just because of a couple set backs , never count a Kelly out. Ask any coach that coached him, his work ethic is unmatched. He will be back stronger than ever. Bet on it.

Chad Kelly underwent wrist surgery earlier this week that is supposed to keep him out for a few months.

The former Ole Miss QB ended his Pro Day prematurely due to his wrist injury flaring up. He is also coming back from knee surgery to repair a torn ACL. As if all that weren’t enough, Chad has his NFL Combine invite rescinded because of off-field issues.

With the draft two weeks away, it helps to have a Hall of Famer stumping for you at a time when your stock is falling.
