Colts Trying Out Former Broncos QB Chad Kelly

The Indianapolis Colts are trying out several players during their rookie minicamp this weekend including former Broncos QB Chad Kelly.

Mike Chappell has the full list of tryout players if you’re interested. 

Last week, Tim Graham reported that after talking to the Colts about singing as an undrafted free agent, Central Connecticut State QB Jake Dolegala’s camp informed them that they were pulling out of the deal because Indianapolis was going to sign Kelly to a contract.

Stephen Holder added that the Colts signing Kelly has been “percolating for a while.”

During his college career, Kelly threw for 6,858 yards while completing 63.9 percent of his passes to go along with 50 touchdowns and 21 interceptions.
