@Bushido247: Rumor going around that Chad Kelly's swag has already gotten him beat up by his own roommate at Clemson.

On his next possession, Kelly again challenged two defenders, and Garry Peters picked him off. Later in the half, the Orange squad faced a 4th-and-3 in White territory, play-caller Jeff Scott opted to punt, and Kelly was irate.
He let the coaches hear it at halftime. The coaches' response was to bench Kelly for the entire second half, which he spent fuming on the sideline - even sniping into the fourth quarter at nearby coaches.
"You're not going to have guys crossing a line with the coaches just because they're frustrated with whatever," Swinney said. "He got frustrated and reacted the way your leader can't react. It's just that simple."
Kelly's final statline was 10-for-18 for 113 yards and two interceptions; while the quarterbacks couldn't be tackled, thus stunting his scrambling ability, his lasting impression was the pouting as much as the picks.
“@MarcDopher: Multiple sources now, Chad Kelly escorted out of West End Zone by CU Police, waiting to hear if he is still on the team (thinking no)”

Anybody else notice the package in the first pic?
"I had the world by the balls. By the balls," says Chad Kelly, East Mississippi's new quarterback and perhaps this season's most celebrated drop-down.
A former high school All-American from Buffalo and nephew of Bills Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly, the six-foot-three, 220-pound redshirt sophomore was thrown out of Clemson after this April's spring game. He got in head coach Dabo Swinney's face for sending in the punt team on a fourth-and-short near midfield.
"Why the fuck didn't we go for it?" Kelly shouted as the first half wound down.
Before that day, Kelly was battling for the starting job at a southern football power while living in a two-story apartment with his girlfriend, an Atlanta Falcons cheerleader. Less than a week later, he was in Scooba, where he sleeps on a twin bed in a dorm room he shares with a wide receiver.
"It is what it is. I gotta deal with it," says Kelly, who plans to be out of Scooba by December and back playing with a big-time school. "I've humbled myself since I've been here. I don't take anything for granted."
