The eight XFL teams started to assemble their rosters today with day one of the XFL Draft. Before the draft took place, each team was assigned a quarterback. Some notable names that were assigned to the eight XFL teams were former Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones, who went to the DC Defenders, former Temple Owls quarterback Phillip Walker went to the Houston Roughnecks, former Oklahoma and Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Landry Jones went to the Dallas Renegades, former Penn State quarterback Matt McGloin went to the New York Guardians, Brandon Silvers, formerly with the Memphis Express of the AAF went to the Seattle Dragons, Luis Perez, formerly with the Birmingham Iron of the AAF went to the Los Angeles Wildcats, former Ole Miss quarterback Jordan Ta’amu went to the St. Louis Battlehawks and Aaron Murry, formerly with the Atlanta Legends of the AAF went to the Tampa Bay Vipers.
This two-day event features former big-league college players who have played in the NFL, CFL, IFL, AFL, and, most recently, the Alliance of American Football. The XFL is a second chance opportunity league for players to continue their playing careers and develop their skills to become elite players.
