Kelly has not been on an NFL roster during the 2021 season, but during the offseason, he had a workout with the Cleveland Browns and was a part of the Green Bay Packers' minicamp. He is the nephew of NFL Hall of Famer Jim Kelly, but since his time at Ole Miss, his opportunities have been slim-to-none professionally.Dec 17, 2021

Taylor is interesting because his skill set would allow the Colts to continue running their RPO system while staying clear in the short/intermediate passing lanes. Taylor isn’t much of a deep thrower, but he could get the job done and keep the offense afloat if something happened to Wentz.
Cam Newton. Winslow Townson-USA TODAY Sports. It was rough to watch Newton work in the New England Patriots offense in 2020. He had a lot to prove as a thrower and while he didn’t do so well statistically, it’s pretty difficult to run the complex Patriots offense without the benefit of an offseason.
A litany of injuries kept him from greatness but he has been the backup for Lamar Jackson in Baltimore over the last three seasons. He has n’t seen much playing time, which means he’s likely open to taking another backup role.
Colt McCoy. An uninspiring option but one the Colts could still consider, McCoy was the backup for the New York Giants and Daniel Jones in 2020. He stepped in for two starts and was fine keeping the offense afloat as it were. If anything he would be competition for Eason to show he can beat out NFL talent.
One of the bigger storylines around the NFL this offseason was the potential resurrection of Carson Wentz’s career with the Indianapolis Colts.
The Colts do have two younger quarterbacks on the roster, first of which is second-year passer Jacob Eason. Eason generated a bit of first-round buzz late in his draft process, thanks to his combination of size and arm talent, but ultimately fell to the Colts in the fourth round.
Eason is not the only young option the Colts have on the roster. Indianapolis did dip into the quarterback market this past draft cycle, adding senior quarterback Sam Ehlinger from the University of Texas. Ehlinger spent four seasons with the Longhorns, sharing the starting job with Shane Buechele as a true freshman with both QBs battling injuries.
Over the weekend the Colts did make a move at the position, signing free agent quarterback Brett Hundley who has spent time with the Green Bay Packers and the Arizona Cardinals.
