Broncos Release QB Chad Kelly Following Arrest for Criminal Trespassing

The Denver Broncos have released backup quarterback Chad Kelly, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported on Wednesday.

Kelly, who was selected with the final pick of the 2017 draft, was arrested on Tuesday after being charged with first-degree criminal trespassing. According to police reports, Kelly entered a couple's home uninvited and sat next to one of the occupants on her couch, mumbling incoherently. Another occupant then confronted Kelly in the living room and hit him with an aluminum vacuum tube in the upper back, kicking Kelly out of the house.

Kelly was arrested and sent to the Arapahoe County jail.
