Toronto Argonauts head coach Ryan Dinwiddie prepared to hand keys to offence to quarterback Chad Kelly
McLeod Bethel-Thompson’s decision to play in the fledgling USFL this season didn’t catch Ryan Dinwiddie by surprise.
“We had an idea after the Grey Cup this was a possibility,” Dinwiddie said. “You lose a quarterback with a lot of experience who played some good football for us and had a great year last year. The 6-foot-2, 216-pound Kelly came up huge for Toronto in its upset 24-23 Grey Cup win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Replacing an injured Bethel-Thompson in the fourth quarter, Kelly – the nephew of former Bills’ star quarterback Jim Kelly – completed four-of-six passes for 43 yards.
Bethel-Thompson, 34, was 15-of-28 passing for 203 yards against Winnipeg before his injury. But his decision to play in the USFL wasn’t surprising as immediately following Toronto’s championship win, Bethel-Thompson – a married father of a young daughter – said family would figure prominently in his off-season consideration.
