However, an important detail started to arise later in the day: apparently Kelly was caught off guard by the snub, as he was expected to be invited to the Combine despite an ACL injury that he suffered this season.

What is more interesting is that Pro Football Talk is now reporting that Kelly was still on the list of Combine invites as recently as February 1.

Kelly joins Oklahoma running back Joe Mixon, Baylor wide reciever Ishamel Zamora, and Ole Miss teammate Demore'ea Stringfellow as players that have reportedly been blacklisted from this year's Combine.
