Did you know? Mike Kelly helped start the Sports Management program at Drexel University in Philadelphia from 2005-08. During that time he also worked at NFL Films breaking down tape with senior producer Greg Cosell, and shared insight with Ron Jaworski for Monday Night Football.

With over three decades of football experience “Coach Mike” handles the evaluation of prospective clients, charts the player personnel needs of the individual clubs in the National Football League, and cultivates his already extensive relationships within the NFL and Canadian Football League bringing an unusual perspective to player representation.

Mike has the unique experience of winning Eastern Conference Championships in three different professional football leagues serving as the Offensive Coordinator/QB coach with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the CFL in 1992, 93, & 94,. where his offense once produced 713 yards passing in a single game, and in the same role with the Orlando Rage of the XFL in 2001, and in the NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles as an Offensive Assistant in 2002. He coached in the 2003 Pro Bowl with an Eagles staff led by now Kansas City Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid that included current Baltimore Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh, Carolina Panthers Head Coach Ron Rivera, Minnesota Vikings Head Coach Leslie Frazier, and former Head Coaches Pat Shurmur (Browns), Steve Spagnuolo (Rams), and Brad Childress (Vikings).

Mike has extensive experience in the evaluation of players having worked in Pro Personnel with the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Redskins writing reports as an advance scout with responsibilities of evaluating all players on each respective roster as well as cross checking college scouting reports in preparation for the draft. In 2010 he worked as a consultant in Pro Personnel for the New York Giants through David Gettleman, the now General Manager of the Carolina Panthers. He has also worked as the Director of Canadian Personnel with the Bombers and as the Director of the CFL Draft Combine (1993-96).

He had the final say in all personnel matters as the Head Coach of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (2009) that resulted in nine players either signing bonus contracts or receiving mini-camp try-outs with NFL clubs. His recruiting efforts as the Head Coach of Valdosta State University (GA) from 1997-99 built the nucleus of the team that played for the 2001 National Championship.
