Anthony "Champ" Kelly is yet another hire with previous ties to the Broncos, working in Denver from 2007-2015. The last five years he worked as their assistant director of pro personnel. During his time scouting, the Broncos acquired veteran free agents quarterback Peyton Manning, defensive tackle Terrance Knighton, running back Willis McGahee, wide out Emmanuel Sanders, corner Aqib Talib, guard Louis Vasquez, safety T.J. Ward, linebacker DeMarcus Ware and wide receiver Wes Welker.
