In 1975, Kellen was awarded a football scholarship to the University
of Missouri, Columbia. In 1978, he was named Big Eight Player of the
Year for his academic and athletic achievements and earned consensus
All-American honors. He was the 13th player selected in the first round
of the 1979 NFL draft by the San Diego Chargers. Kellen enjoyed a nine-year
career with the Chargers; earning All-Pro honors five times and setting
team and league records that stand to this day.
A firm believer that academics and athletics go hand in hand, Kellen
graduated from the University of Missouri receiving a Bachelor of Educational
Science in Counseling Psychology. He returned to school after his football
career and earned his Jurist Doctorate from the University of San Diego
School of Law in 1993.
Kellen
continues to parallel his athletic accomplishments with a successful
career in the media. He currently serves an analyst for Fox Sports Network's
College Football Saturdays Studio Show. In addition, he provides color
commentary for NFL broadcast on CBS Radio. In past years, Kellen has
provided color commentary and sideline reporting for ESPN college football
and color commentary for University of Missouri football.

has appeared on Fox Sports, ABC's Nightline, ESPN, and most major local
and national radio and television sports talk shows. He is often called
upon to speak on social, political, economic, and racial issues related
to sports.
Kellen
is in demand as a public speaker, yet he still finds time to lend his
talents to youth groups and church organizations. He delivers motivational
message to audiences ranging from the boards of major corporations to
civic and charitable groups.
