Report: Chad Kelly not invited to combine over off-field issues
Chad Kelly reportedly is the latest football player not to be invited to the NFL Combine due to off-field issues.
Kelly is not on the list of players invited to the NFL Combine despite being a talented college quarterback. Bleacher Report’s Matt Miller says he wasn’t invited because of his off-field problems.
I'm told by NFL team sources that Ole Miss QB Chad Kelly was not invited to the NFL combine based on off-field issues.

Kelly originally attended Clemson but was dismissed from the program because of multiple incidents away from the field, including this with a beauty queen. After a season at a junior college, he went to Ole Miss and then had a run-in with police.
During a bye week for the Rebels last season, Kelly got into a brawl at his brother’s high school game (video here). And if all that weren’t enough, he also was caught up in this alleged marijuana photo.
Kelly passed for 50 touchdowns and rushed for 15 scores over the past two seasons at Ole Miss. His season ended in November because of a torn ACL in his knee.
