Here's more:

Kelly's representatives, McAllister and Duray Oubre, said the NFL combine sent Kelly an invite Jan. 6 and arranged travel for him. The agents received a call from combine director Jeff Foster last Thursday informing Kelly that the NFL rescinded his invitation.

"The only response that we've been able to get in voicemails from [NFL vice president of football operations Troy Vincent] is that he will not discuss the details of it," McAllister said.

and

"It seems like this is one of those cases where the NFL and Troy Vincent have decided again to not gather all the facts and make a decision, shoot from the hip, and we cannot get a clarification as to why," McAllister said. "Chad is being singled out and being made example of, for what? It definitely ain't domestic abuse, and it definitely ain't violent crime."

Kelly's agents acknowledged that it was "possible" their client was involved in another unreported incident that led to the invite being rescinded."...

He's going to get the Manziel label if he's not careful.

Unfortunately, he might have it already.

Seems a shame what people can do to their potential. I mean coming out of high school, the kids future was golden, and he's done enough to give you a look at what could have been in terms of how he'd compare to this QB class and a potential pro career.

I'm not saying he's done by any means, but is he really going to suddenly buckle down and fight for his potential ? I suppose it bothers me that his agents are saying he might go to the combine anyway, and are trying to frame him as "poor Chad", which is a pretty easy label to accept for him.

Would probably do him more good to just acknowledge he's had his issues, say it means he has to just work harder to impress a team, then absolutely commit to doing so with a furious focused work ethic.
