Chad Kelly doesn’t like to talk about his past.
From his self-promoting rap song to his dismissal from Clemson to his arrest in his hometown of Buffalo, New York just days after he committed to Ole Miss, it’s fair to say that Kelly has been through a lot.
Kelly gets asked about his troubled past all of the time. He always gives a similar response:
“It was just an off-the-field thing,” or, “I made mistakes.”
That was a different Chad Kelly.
The persona Kelly created for himself after making a rap song his senior year of high school no longer exists.
