Doyel: Can't make sense of Colts signing Chad Kelly

IndyStar columnist has quibbles with the Indianapolis Colts about one of their recent acquistions. Gregg Doyel, gregg.doyel@indystar.com

INDIANAPOLIS – Chad Kelly seems like a nice kid. I’ll give him that. Looks you in the eye when he talks. Speaks softly, says the right things, all stuff he’s done before. Now he’s doing them for the Indianapolis Colts.

We all know why. For nine years Colts coach Frank Reich backed up Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly in Buffalo, and the two remain close. Jim Kelly is Chad Kelly’s uncle. Those dots are easy enough to connect.

Where the line gets crooked is when you take a close look at Chad Kelly’s background.
