Broncos make Chad Kelly 2017's Mr. Irrelevant at 253rd overall
The Denver Broncos selected Ole Miss quarterback Chad Kelly with the 253rd overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft.
Kelly arrived at Clemson as a top-five quarterback recruit only to tear his left ACL as a freshman and clash with coaches, resulting in his ouster from the program. Kelly started for two years at Ole Miss, encountered several more off-field issues, tore his right ACL last November, then underwent surgery on his throwing wrist before the draft. Still an intriguing long-term prospect, Kelly has starter upside if he can get his head on straight.
Kelly posted a 63.9 percent completion rate, 8.5 yards per attempt, 50 touchdowns and 21 interceptions, adding 15 rushing scores. He'll redshirt his rookie year.
