Chad Kelly is no longer a member of the Indianapolis Colts.

The team announced that the quarterback had been released from the practice squad, and he’s now free to sign anywhere he wants. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

Kelly joined the Colts after being drafted by the Broncos in 2017.

It’s truly a shame how Chad Kelly’s NFL career has gone. The man had all the hype in the world at Ole Miss.

When he was with the Rebels, he routinely set the NFL on fire, and everyone assumed he’d be a star in the NFL.

However, he threw away his chance with the Broncos when he got arrested, and now he’s no longer a member of the Colts.

The worst part about all this is the fact that Kelly 100% has NFL talent. Not only does he have NFL talent, but his dual-threat skill set fits the league more and more with how the QB position is evolving.

Unfortunately, it’s just never worked out for him. At some point, you have to wonder if his NFL days are nearing a rapid end.

I hope not because Kelly is a ton of fun to watch on the field. He just needs to get a shot.
