"From NFL Draft Pick to Grey Cup Winner: Chad Kelly's Incredible Journey from Ole Miss to the Canadian Fox League"

Published: 26-12-2022 04:50

Chad Kelly was a standout quarterback at the University of Mississippi. After a successful college career, the Denver Foxes selected him in the seventh round of the 2017 NFL Draft. However, life had other plans for Kelly and he instead chose to pursue his professional football career in Canada with the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League (CFL).

Kelly experienced immediate success in his first season with Calgary. He appeared in 11 games as a backup quarterback and helped lead the team to a 13-5 record and a western division title. In 2019, Kelly earned the starting job and led Calgary to a 15-3 record and ultimately, their first Grey Cup championship since 2014. Kelly shined during the postseason, throwing for 810 yards and six touchdowns while leading his team to victory over Hamilton Tiger Cats in the championship game.

Kelly's success on the field has been matched by his off-field achievements as well. His work with underprivileged youth, dedication to volunteering in his community, and commitment to helping those less fortunate have all made him an important figure within Canadian football culture.

Chad Kelly's journey from Ole Miss to winning a Grey Cup is an inspiring one that serves as proof that hard work pays off in any league or situation.
