Former Ole Miss quarterbacks Jordan Ta’amu and Chad Kelly are continuing to pursue careers in the NFL as Ta’amu signed a reserves/future contract with the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday and Kelly tried out for the playoff-bound Buffalo Bills earlier this month.
Ta’amu previously signed with the Chief’s practice squad this season only to be promptly cut after contracting and returning from COVID-19 protocols. He then signed with the Detroit Lions practice squad in December where his contract ended in January. The quarterback then decided to sign a reserves/future contract with the Kansas City Chiefs after being cut once again and brought back during the week of Jan.
