The story of the NFL Draft, at least from an Ole Miss perspective, was Chad Kelly becoming the most relevant Mr. Irrelevant in draft history. After sitting through three days and 252 picks, one of the most prolific quarterbacks in SEC history finally heard his name called by the Denver Broncos, joining Evan Engram (first round to the Giants), D.J. Jones (sixth round to the 49ers) and Derrick Jones (sixth round to the Jets) as the fourth former Rebel selected.
Not everyone heard their name called, however. That includes Damore’ea Stringfellow, the physical wideout whose arrest in Washington probably dropped him down draft boards, and Tony Conner, the former five-star who’s battled a knee injury for the better part of two years.
