Chad Kelly dis-invited to the NFL Combine, May show up anyway

Kelly, though, had his invitation to the NFL’s annual scouting combine rescinded because of off-the-field issues, which brought him under the microscope of the policy on combine invites:

“As in the past, draft-eligible prospects will not be permitted to participate in any aspect of the Combine if a background check reveals a conviction of a felony or misdemeanor involving violence or use of a weapon, domestic violence, sexual offense and/or sexual assault. The NFL also reserves the right to deny participation of any prospect dismissed by their university or the NCAA.”

Kelly was famously involved in a bar fight while at Ole Miss. He pleaded guilty to the non-criminal charge of disorderly conduct, but per Yahoo! Sports , one of Kelly’s agents was led to believe that the organization that runs the combine did more digging around the incident and didn’t like what it found, which led to the dis-invitation.

Well, according to Pro Football Talk, which was reached via email by another of Kelly’s agents, Kelly may show up to the combine to talk to teams anyway.

“We are still considering the possibility of traveling to the combine along with Chad,” agent Duray Oubre said.
