Chad Kelly has made his share of off-field headlines over the last five years, but the talent on the field is pretty undeniable.

There are definitely huge question marks here, but for a developmental quarterback, a sixth round pick could be worth the risk to try and get Kelly to get on the right track.

He’s got a great arm and can make all the NFL throws required, and is a very good athlete. When you watch him play in 2015 with Ole Miss, he looks like a potential top 50 player. He was dominant that season, racking up 41 total touchdowns and beating Alabama, Auburn, and LSU in the same season.

There’s a lot to like here, but definitely an off-field risk.
