FILE - This is a 2019 photo of Champ Kelly of the Chicago Bears NFL football team. This image reflects the Chicago Bears active roster as of Thursday, May 2, 2019 when this image was taken. Champ Kelly remembers sending handwritten and typed letters to every NFL team and the rejections that came in return. He did it four times a year over four years, hoping to get his foot in the league. Once the opportunity came, he made several jumps. Now Chicago's assistant director of player personnel, he hopes to make another big leap. He has his sights set on becoming a general manager, maybe even the Bears' with the team looking to fill an opening. (AP Photo/File)
