QB Chad Kelly is 'Mr. Irrelevant' after being picked No. 253 by Broncos

Ole Miss quarterback Chad Kelly, who wasn't invited to the NFL combine after multiple off-field issues during his collegiate career, is the NFL's Mr. Irrelevant after being selected with the 253rd -- and final -- pick of the draft by the Denver Broncos on Saturday.

Kelly, who is the nephew of Pro Football Hall of Famer Jim Kelly, had surgery on his right wrist and will not be able to throw until July, his agent told ESPN in early April.

He tweaked the wrist during his pro day on April 3 and had planned a second workout on April 22, but he was diagnosed with an acute rupture of a ligament between two bones in the wrist.
