""The community I'm from, Campbellton, all the people I know around there, all they do is work," he said. "I'm not going to sit here and try to sell you on me getting this job. I will work every day, attack it with focus and the right intensity and let whatever may come come."
""But for these eight weeks, you're getting all of Champ," he said, now banging on a table. "Whether that lasts for eight weeks, eight months, eight years or 18 years down the road, you're getting all of me. God will never bless who you pretend to be."
Champ Kelly is the Miami Dolphins interim general manager handling roster management after Chris Grier was fired Oct. 31. He observed practice from a suite in Madrid ahead of the NFL’s first game in Spain. Kelly grew up in Campbellton, Florida, raised largely by his grandmother Mary Sorey after his father sold drugs and his mother struggled with addiction. Kelly played college football at Kentucky, entered NFL front offices and is now in his second interim-GM stint. He says he will work daily with focus and intensity, refuses to pretend, and plans to give his full effort for the next eight weeks.
