The former Ole Miss quarterback spent 2017 and 2018 with the Denver Broncos before being let go, and now it’s clear he wants another NFL shot.

As Kelly watched the Broncos fall 51-14 in a Christmas Day game to the Los Angeles Rams, he was very active on Twitter.

Kelly was the final pick, or “Mr. Irrelevant” in the 2017 NFL Draft. He has also spent time with the Indianapolis Colts in his career.
