The Las Vegas Raiders are adding some Bluegrass flavor to its front office. On Wednesday afternoon, the Raiders announced that former Kentucky wide receiver Anthony “Champ” Kelly has been named the franchise’s assistant general manager.
After spending the last seven seasons with the Chicago Bears, Kelly will now work under general manager Dave Ziegler with the Raiders, who was hired earlier this week. Kelly, a 41-year old native of Florida, played at UK from 1998-2001, beginning his college career as a defensive back before moving to WR as a junior, when he played in 11 games including two starts.
