Best Quarterbacks Left Outside the XFL USFL Merger



Today Pat and I are talking about some key gunslingers who are on teams that did not make the cut for the merger. Let me know if we missed anyone!

Welcome to the endzone YouTube let’s move the chains we are live here waiting on Pat rafino to join I hope he joins this morning but we’re going to talk about the best quarterbacks in the XFL the usfl that were left out of this merger right so we’re going to get right

Into it and if y’all want to post y’all’s questions up in the comment section I’ll try to get to those we’ll go ahead and get started because I assume that most people will be watching later on and we’re going to start with the usfl quarterbacks and this

Quarterback that I want to start with is case cookus now if you’re a usfl fan you definitely know who case cookus is he’s been one of the better quarterbacks in all of the usfl and unfortunately he plays for the stars and the stars are likely to not make this merger which

Means that case cookus is going to be a hot commodity again case cookus is a guy who just when I watch him I see how tough he is and how resilient he is he’s battled through a lot of injuries throughout his career he’s been really good in college and the usfl somebody

Who’s been able to take an absolute beating especially last year behind an offensive line that struggled a lot for the Philadelphia Stars he had 30 touchdowns to 14 interceptions over two years in the the usfl and his first year was really his best year the second year

I think the quality of play on the Stars overall hindered him a little bit but he is definitely special quarterbacks in the last last four games of last season in the usfl he had 10 touchdowns and two interceptions after a pretty rough start so I think that case cookus is going to

Be a strong strong quarterback and we’re adding Pat in right now what’s going on Pat hey good morning everyone sorry I actually uh I’m not gonna lie I had a little bit of a crazy morning today so took me a little bit to get going but good morning good

Morning okay we just started with uh the usfl quarterbacks and I just did a little breakdown of case cookus and by the way guys this is in no order we’re we’re literally going usfl then to the XFL quarterbacks here because if you don’t know already how the draft is

Going to be structured there are two drafts the first draft is where the usfl teams will pick up players from the now defunct usfl teams right and then players who didn’t make that draft will go into a super draft afterwards and same goes for the

XFL um yeah and I think um let’s kind of just touch on that a little bit as well we don’t know when the draft is like we know that like um that December 27th uh number but like we don’t know because I have my own personal opinion

On it it’s like so you’re have these dpps and everyone like do that right now like before Christmas like you know I know that text messages have been sent out like and whatnot so like I I don’t know I’m a little curious about like how that’s going to work if that makes sense

Like like are they just going to do it on on what would that be the 27th like the Wednesday are they just going to are they just going to like kind of go with it or what’s what’s up you know what I mean yeah no I definitely know what you

Mean I think one thing that most people are used to right now with spring football is the idea that everything is fluctuating and changing right you know we’ve been told 12 teams and 10 then eight we’ve been told a lot of different things as time has gone on so we’re even

Told that it might possibly be the rough next brand that makes the league but the the the Houston Gamblers team that makes the league if that makes it even more confusing enough so yeah and I mean I think I think Mark willbridge and I know we’re

We’re going on a little bit of a uh of a um you know sidebar here but I think Mark libridge kind of uh confirmed a little bit of that but you know I know on I know earlier in the week someone I know reached out to um to um Wade

Phillips and Wade Phillips is like I haven’t been told told anything but he did say that they were having a meeting on Wednesday and uh and then obviously the trickle down effect with the Vegas Department of Team operations Personnel person sending the email not the XFL but that Vegas employee sending the email

Yeah all right so we’ll go ahead and continue and if y’all have any questions comment those below we’ll try and do a little mailbag at the very end so Pat do you want to do Troy Williams since I started with case cookus we’ll keep it with the usfl and you know Troy Williams

Is intriguing guy um in my opinion he was really that spark that really led the Pittsburgh MERS to that next level and kind of just like allowed allowed them to make that Championship run um for those who don’t remember for those that don’t remember James Morgan was their quarterback right they bring in

This fourth round pick you know from the NFL with NFL experience he he’s coming from the Cardinals and all that stuff and then from there you know they bring he just was ineffective he looked like he couldn’t move well he looked like he he just was having a lot of issues and

Then they bring in Troy Williams right Troy Williams goes to Utah he was at Washington he’s Joo kid you know bounced around the CFL you know who’s this guy right and then lights it up and lights it up with his legs the biggest thing Troy did was he kept the ball and ball

Al excuse me kept the Play Alive didn’t throw too many interceptions almost 1,500 yards I think I got my notes pulled up here was 144 six touchdowns three interceptions kept the ball alive and they Ed their tight ends and Isaiah hunt and when I say tight ends I mean I throw

Mason stocky who was a fullback in there and um you know Isaiah Henny that quick game but also could pushed down the field a little bit to Josh Simmons I believe he did that a couple times as well so the amount of you know the amount of just

Versatility with that guy and it seemed like he understood the game it seemed like he you know could read the field and was able to make those secondary reads and whatnot and I believe towards the end of the season I think I had him as like my fourth best quarterback in

The in the usfl yeah need a little bit more Dynamic passing ability that was what I needed yeah and it is remarkable I think you bring up a great point this is a MERS team that was worse the year before he came and it looked like they were going

To repeat that until he became the solidified quarterback like he was the juice that sparked in offense that was absolutely awful you know so yeah a lot of that had to do with the MERS team last year I mean I think I mean you were you were you know you were there there

Um like what the MERS had like in 2022 like seven or eight guys go to the NFL they were the I think you know they were with the high esteem to send people to the NFL and their defense has always been absolutely fantastic well they had

Jeremiah Farms he was a big guy I mean Devin haford I think he didn’t even play he was like signed midseason he got an opportunity um I think Carlo Kemp was who apparently just signed with the stallions so yeah I saw that I mean that’s that’s its own but I mean you

Know you you look they had Josh love Josh love was there he was you know nothing to write home about goes to Michigan does okay right you know he games with Michigan um Kyle ala was there you know came in through I think he provided a little bit of a spark for

Um for some of these other teams um the uh he played for the generals yeah like he did okay you know like yeah nothing nothing nothing too crazy I mean vley vley like he didn’t play this year but I mean vley is a serviceable alt League backup and then Roland Rivers so

You had four quarterbacks room that all were trash under Kirby Wilson yeah all right so we’ll go over to the next quarterback on the list and I believe that’s aille glass who is a Breakers quarterback I couldn’t find a really good picture of him in a breaker’s

Uniform but you got to go to his Instagram I think there’s a couple there’s a couple but you know ail is someone I’ve done a decent amount of work uh work on um you know Research into and whatnot he’s a St Louis native I for I I’ll I’ll look up what high

School he went to yeah know Tanner little I 100% agree but he went to the HBCU uh Alabama A&M as you see see up there um Akil is a little bit you know a little bit lanky he’s got decent size some people say he’s got good zip on the ball you

Know sometimes I feel like it kind of Fades away in my opinion when excuse me when he’s throwing that out route but I do think he can make all the throws got a decent amount of experience I think he was a three-year starter in college um

Won the Deacon Jones award when he was there um two times swack offensive player of the of the league and pulled it up all conference all all conference SL a lot of experience yeah he went the Lutheran North that’s what it was which is you know pretty good school up here

Not not one to uh shrug at and had a cup of tea with the um he had a cup of tea with the with the um with the Tampa Bay Bucks and whatnot so I think he’s a pretty effective quarterback back I think you know he struggles on like the further you go

Down the field the accuracy becomes an issue and and whatnot but sometimes he can be a little bit erratic now they some people kind of get a little jazzed up about him they said he was like his his frame was a little too lanky I’ve seen the guy in person he’s training

Down in St Louis like with a couple other guys a couple re leag guys I feel like he he’s like bu out a little bit more and whatnot so it really it’s going to come down when you see that guy um like how he does once like the

Practice film looks like I haven’t he hasn’t played in a professional game so I think there’s a lot of potential there but I think you know these coaches are seeing something we’re not because they see them in practice all the time sorry I was muted but I was going

To say if if he’s a if you’re a team maybe like the stallions or you know I’m just throwing teams out there with established quarterback situations it wouldn’t hurt to bring a guy like this in to come be a backup and learn so definitely a good quarterback and a good

Option A lot of people are talking about him in the off season um when he signed with the breakers and then our final usfl quarterback Eric barer oh the boy the chosen one right I think he’s the only quarterback from 2022 to be um to be like when they signed it you know

Because it was him Terry Wilson and then guy Meyers and then they all got released um Eric barrier is the only one still there so he’s a was Eastern Washington guy I believe he won the excuse me he won the Heisman at that he won the Heisman at that level FCS at

FCS level Dynamic passer through for yards and touchdowns yards and touchdowns you know biggest biggest thing was um you know his completion percentage might have been a little bit padded because of their like pass friendly offense and whatnot a little bit small but guy this guy is athletic I

Think he’s got plenty of potential to make plays um you know it’s kind of sad that he didn’t really get an opportunity only I think one or two games um you know one or two games at the uh at the next uh at the next level when he

Was with the uh Panthers in 2022 didn’t play with the generals but right now he’s the only quarterback on the Generals roster so take that for what it’s worth I think someone would give him a chance oh excuse me I think that maybe he even goes back to Michigan

Because he knows the defense and EJ Perry’s gone you know and very curious about that like what are a lot of these people going to do now but you know um couple other tidbits you know he was with the Broncos for a little bit as well I could definitely see him going to

Houston I could definitely see him you know arm strength has trouble like a lot of these guys hitting those far routes and keeps a little bit too much erir under the ball as well height might be an issue to some people as well it made sense that he went to the

Generals though just given their Short history in the usfl yeah I mean a little less athletic than DeAndre Johnson but arm yeah he can move all right so we’re gonna go on to the XFL quarterbacks and we’ll start with Quinton dormy so this guy had what would you say a

Roller coaster of a season with Orlando it was it was BS like you know yeah you know that came out to that came out to be false you know like yeah so this guy’s career you know this guy had NFL workouts like at the end of the

Season you know I’m sure he got asked about it grilled about it all that stuff and you know just because I’ll say it like DeAndre France like being a little salty there yeah so basically for context for people who may not know there were allegations that Quinton dormy was doing something

Basically illegal on the team in the XFL and it turned out to not be true and it definitely like I think that definitely affected his play but like despite all of that to me he was still one of the few bright spots on the shortlived Orlando Guardians team um I mean he had

Some fantastic games and he had some games where he struggled but that six touchdown win over DC will be forever at in my mind I mean that game first of all was crazy but like he shows so much promise as a quarterback and if I’m an

XFL team like St Louis if you don’t know if you’re getting AJ McCarron back right or or maybe you’re the brahmas right and Jack con you know you don’t know how to feel about him Quinton dormy is is a really really good quarterback he showed the ability to stretch the field like

You said he got NFL looks and I’m excited to see where he lands I don’t know about you yeah I think you know I think he is entrenched in now as a 1 a 1B type of guy so if you’re a team that’s like hey man like we we need a

Quarterback we need someone on our roster I think he is someone that like you choose um you know I don’t I don’t think you bring Quinn dormandy to be your backup unless you you know him which is kind of weird because you might see a guy like that not get signed or drafted

And you’ll look at it and be like what the hell like this guy you know did this this and this he should be the quarterback here and it’s like well well buddy um it’s that’s not how it’s going to work because uh you know like we

Don’t need him to do that you know we need him to be our guy but if he’s not going to be the starter he’s we’re going to release him so that’s kind of where my like a lot of people might get you know not just for the quarterback

Position but every position a lot of people might get upset that they’re like what the hell like you know this guy’s better than this guy it’s like well is he or like that’s your opinion or is it just like we think that we should you know address other positions of need so

I mean there could be a lot of hurt feelings for fans in the future about this yeah and it also depends a lot on like the coaches you know that you mesh with like there’s more than just Talent there’s also the Playbook like you said earlier a quarterback can be in a

Quarterback friendly offense right you know it’s it’s not always as black and white as some people want to make it but he is definitely somebody who I would love to have all right got Jaylen Morton this is a sick photo of him by the way you got J no yeah Jaylen McLendon

Mclin sorry I said Morton my bad I don’t I don’t think Jaylen Morton is uh yeah got much I think he’s just like yo this pretty cool I want a uh i w a a usfl championship but I mean this guy coming out of Baylor I think he was also at NC

State as well real raw he was definitely while he was playing excuse me who’s in the top half of uh us or XFL quarterbacks in 2023 uh personally like talking to um you know Rod Woodson after games about him he was 100% like yeah man this guy

Is yeah DeAndre Johnson I I I think he’s done that but um this guy was extremely raw you know getting learn the offense you could see the progression of him getting better every week getting more comfortable in the throw stepping into them more not taking off with his legs

When you know he had opportunities to and he saw that translate into better football so I’m extremely excited to see what he does moving forward and I think there’s so much potential there that he’ll be able to find a team move forward because the guy didn’t start in

College he only have like two college starts one college start and then you push forward with that and you’re able to like see that each week he’s getting better granted he’s 27 years old but he always um Rod Woodson we said like the kid’s a

Baby you know what I mean like the kid is extremely young and XF and um you know able to like continue to develop and whatnot so we’ll see if someone wants to deal with that if he fits their scheme I mean the problem is yeah you’re you’re gonna have a lot of

Good players like go to the Wayside so I mean I mean really when we think about it like Michigan in Houston and I’d argue like you know go back and forth on Houston now like Michigan and Houston are the only um QB needy teams really I mean San Antonio I think

They’re gonna ride with you know Jack con Jack con is just so I mean I’m a notre M fan so we had Jack Con in our 11 in one season he’s I love the dude but you know it’s just you know he’s not his ceiling is not going to take you over

The top in my opinion but yeah yeah I mean he’s still getting NFL workouts you know what I mean like should be in the XFL I think he is a higher tier backup you know to you know low tier starter which in my mind means like okay like

That’s why you’re here yep exactly Paxton Lynch there who you know you say a lot about paxt and Lynch he’s got a lot of experience if he chooses to stick around then you have um you know TJ Edwards is really a name to keep keep track on and he’s a division two guy

From the glvc um and he’s bumping his stuff up you yeah I mean I mean he was also like an IFL guy I think he was in fan control football as well but like he was IFL like MVP and um I mean that’s someone you want to keep tabs on on in my

Opinion like like TJ TJ Edwards could be a star in this league um I mean keep going down the list right like St Louis I think St Louis picks up a quarterback but you know coach back they could pick up two but I mean coach back has they like Manny Wilkins a

Lot and I mean test birie Jr we’ll see what happens there but I mean I wouldn’t be he was very confident before AJ left he’s like I have three guys in this room that yeah I mean I like tesie Jr too man but I mean he’s you know he is you know

I’ve met the guy multiple times seems like an awesome dude you know he’s Pon like myself but we’ll see what happens right yeah but I think maybe like Michigan Michigan also depending you know if it we all we really don’t know because we don’t know who like like AJ McCarron’s a great

Example like we don’t know if he’s coming back or not yeah know like I think AJ because part of being in the NFL is being relevant too right like yeah you know when you have these guys that like when you have these guys that like have been out of the NFL cycle and

Then get back in I mean I think I think so John first off and uh Luis that’s future Hall of Famer Luis Perez I got I got the Lis Luis perezz Hall of Fame project that I’m currently working on right now but um that being said you know like now

That AJ’s proven he’s healthy back in it has played snaps he’s a part of coaching a coaching staff again so like when these guys leave they’ll be like oh we need my guy AJ McCarron that’s gonna keep you on the NFL cycle you know Ben Deni same same

Thing in my opinion back in back in the league back being relevant you know he had um what was it he had I think it was the saints that tried to sign them to their active roster that’s a good sign you know you know he’s um Jared STM is the

Backup quarterback there so he could beat out Jared stinum like that’d be a very realistic possibility so we’ll see what happens we’ll see what happens on that front um you know the gamblers you got they got rid of Terry and they brought in jerck gu guano who recently

Too yeah like yesterday who spent time and Cardinals and um Broncos and was also also doing work with like the XFL and stuff like that so I mean that kind of says something about Kenji Bahar and uh you know Montel coart so you know I don’t I don’t know man

Like it’s really Michigan in my opinion like that’s that’s the squad you know are you saying that that definitely needs a quarterback I mean like if I had if I if it was a life or death situation you said what team is gonna pick a quarterback and you know I would say

Michigan yeah I mean Ryan leri was essentially your fourth string you brought him in after Carson strong got hurt with the Seattle sea dragons and and got cut over Harris in favor of Harrison Frost who is you know was a not even NFL draft eligible player yet like he had to play

That whole thing yeah all right we’ll move on to our last quarterback and um I know you’re passionate about this guy right here I can take him or you can take or we can both talk about him but I I love Brandon Silvers too yeah let’s

Both talk about them and whatnot let me um let me pull up some of his stats like what you start talking about them and then I I have I have some like on my own accord I’ve been taking like records and whatnot I don’t know if you knew that

Like I’ve been compiling stats of like since 2019 and even the UFL and the XFL 2001 of like all football stats yeah so we’ll talk about Brandon Silvers Silvers to me is is like Luis Perez in the sense that he’s become a spring football journeyman this guy pops

Up in every single new spring football league right he played for the Memphis Express in 2019 in the alliance of American football he also played for the Seattle dragons not to be confused with the sea dragons in XFL 2.0 and of course he played with Houston last season right

And the beginning of the season this dude was absolutely on fire like it looked like Brandon Silvers was going to be one of the better quarterbacks in all the XFL then it kind of started to Teeter and we saw Cole mcdonal get reps near the end but to me he’s like

Guaranteed he’s going to be a top half quarterback like like he he’s someone who I feel like if I’m an offensive coordinator I just want a guy who I can plug in and just trust like this is one of those guys like the floor is high for

Brandon Silvers and I think that he might be one of the safest choices in terms of free agency Gunslingers for the XFL teams the XL draft and if he carries over to the superdraft then I’m I’m sure some usfl teams would definitely be interested in a guy like Brandon

Silvers yeah I mean you have you have obviously Brandon’s been around the league I think he’s thrown like 30 some touchdown passes and you know almost 4,000 yards over over his like you know 20 20 game sample or whatnot Brandon was hurt um I don’t think a lot of people

Knew that that Brandon was uh Brandon was hurt couldn’t practice and you know like AJ Smith was very vocal about like yeah that that kind of affected a lot of things um moving forward and whatnot so I don’t think a lot of people like really took the time

To like for lack of a better term like sympathize with that you know I think there was a lot of like a lot of just kind of like oh he’s not doing good because AJ Smith doesn’t know how to call plays and like he’s not the Wonder kid we thought he was and

It’s like ah dude like calm down a little bit so I mean there was a lot of that I think over time um you know Brandon silver is just you know you know just going to kind of settle to the mean of like being like you said I think he

Is a top four quarterback in in these leagues and you know I personally felt like you know we didn’t get the full dosage of Brandon Silvers last year due to his injury but in the end it is what it is love the guy from the Memphis Express you know played really well in

The spring league as as well um but overall just like a pretty solid guys guy to be a part of and like you know I think we’re personally blessed to see him like coming through like and whatnot also played in fan control football for like a game yeah he’s from Troy Troy Alabama

Yeah represent the state of Alabama he he was a great quarterback in college too I believe he was on the team that upset LSU on homecoming nice I I think he was so he like this guy’s also just like he won a lot of games at Troy and I

Really do think that he would not be left out like like I’m sure that a lot of teams maybe not in the XFL maybe the XFL rosters are are full but some usfl teams like imagine him playing for I don’t know Michigan or or a team like

That or maybe staying in Houston like to me that would be sick if the gamblers were in Houston and he got to play in Houston I think that would be totally awesome I mean I think it opens up the the Birmingham thing as well right like

I don’t think AJ comes back I know a lot of people are like oh AJ’s going to Birmingham and I’m like I mean he might might not like it doesn’t really matter you know I mean his his family rolled deep to St Louis so you could be like oh

You know he’s not coming around and he’s like a man well that’s what you think like yeah adorable but I mean and Birmingham is so aggressive too like in terms of signings that I wouldn’t be surprised if they signed like case cookus or someone just to bring in because they’re always bringing

In competition like they’re not afraid at all yeah I mean I’m uh yeah I mean dude like it’s I’m hoping it gets announced today but let me pull up James’s like shotgun of tweets last night because I was like oh for all the signings they made they brought in a

Clemson wide receiver yeah well he’s got n like legit NFL experience Demarcus Mitchell who’s been like around Carlo Kemp um I mean it was only four it was just it was it was just a lot like it was kind of just like hey man like we uh we only like we uh you

Uh like we are uh what’s the word I’m looking for like there’s just so much going on and whatnot that like you know you you’re five days away now four days away from a dispersal draft like yeah I also know for a fact like a couple of

These guys on the teams that were rumored to to not be signed and whatnot they were more like hooked up if that makes sense like hey man like like you are like not going to play for us but you’re going to be in the in the in

You’re going to have the ability to play and you know be a part of part of the league if that makes sense like they were like pretty transparent about what was going on oh yeah so like I don’t know that means something in my opinion all right so those are all the

Quarterbacks we’re going to talk through today if we missed any quarterbacks y’all comment in the comment section down below if y’all have any questions we can wa wait around for 10 minutes or so because I mean we playing for an hour and we’re only at 33 minutes um do you

Know have you seen Tom Flaco play no I haven’t I don’t I I I mean I didn’t really like go get too giddy about it you know the thing is about Tom Flo is said he’s like 29 years old he’s been coaching at Delaware for the last like two years um

NFL interest I believe he had it and then like spent like two two years plus in the CFL I don’t think he played in the CFL I know he’s shorter than his brother and whatnot so not that that means anything but it means something right but you know being the being the

Brother of Jay cool or Joe Cool’s go to mean mean a couple things you know yeah you definitely get that family name I just don’t oh like How like invested I’m gonna be I mean because who else does they have braded silvers they have lindsy Scott they have Tom Flacco like I mean that room kind of seems a little uh yeah crowded yeah I mean I think they have one more guy if I don’t

Remember Co did Cole McDonald yeah he yeah he him and Caleb Elby got released yeah Caleb Elby St Louis guy still out here training though still grinding good for him let me uh pull up their roster real quick well lindsy Scott is someone who’s been super hyped up and I I really

Want to see him play my uh my only like you know my only kind of just like where I fall out of love with Lindsay Scott is like he’s been to 13 different colleges maybe maybe that’s more of an indictment on me but it’s like my man’s like bounced

Around so many times but you know I know there’s Co he was a missou guy for a little bit too I mean he had some injuries and everything like that but I mean homie threw six 60 touchdowns in one year it’s got to uh it’s got to be something right yeah yeah he

He was good in college when he played yeah FCS totally dominated someone’s asking about Austin Pearl he is what what are you saying no I said shoot you know um they’re asking what team he’s on Battle Hawks yeah so he’s still on the battle Hawks um his father is the wide

Receivers coach there as well I do Austin P to to leave anywhere um you know let me pull up the roster again so Austin P is someone obviously your Shifty stereotypical little slot white guy you know all that stuff hits all that uh has bounced around the

League I think he came into the league at 2018 spent a spent you know on practice squads off practice squads you know just really a fringe NFL guy had some workouts I think with the Carolina Panthers and whatnot um I know he’s with the bills for a little bit it’s got

Pulled up here the Rams 2020 XFL guy didn’t play usfl but he’s had so many pit stops and whatnot throughout throughout he actually and Sean correct me if I’m wrong he scored the first touchdown in the XFL 2020 from Brandon Silvers ironically I I believe he did because wasn’t that against the

Defenders I don’t remember that I I think I think so but he either way he was real he was good for the dragons with Brandon Silvers and he like to me he’s one like great reliable wide receiver that you can have on your team

100 100% yeah I mean yeah so I I I think actually believe it or not the battle Hawks are in like an awkwardly good position of like heartbreaking right now um you know their roster sits at like 55 or something like that and it might it

Might be a little bit lower because they um they released Alex ma mat their Long Snapper so they don’t have to break that heart you know what I mean so there’s like one like only seven long Snappers in the usfl and XFL are gonna have their hearts broken most likely yeah I mean

I’m not trying to be edgy here but like you know it’s just you know what I mean like you’re going to have a lot of people’s hearts broken and like any like I saw Carlos Davis obviously get signed the other day and and you know you’re

Kind of like I you know well that’s one less person that like has to you know that now that’s one more person that gets that gets uh an opportunity because Carlos Davis is leaving Birmingham granted he never played with Birmingham but he someone they probably would have

Kept around so I mean but their wide receiver room I think is safe in my opinion um you know just looking at their offense right now man uh is pretty safe in my opinion like I think you know I think they get they could get rid of

An offensive lineman or two um I don’t know who you know and then I think they’re it’s really going to be a couple linebackers defensive backs and maybe a tight end like you know they might get rid of James bosk um because they don’t know him and

Then go into camp with five five wide receivers and plus obviously building from the five that they get to the uh dispersal drafts and all that goofy stuff but I mean looking at this roster you know Hakeem Butler be your be your ex um you know Austin Pro will be in

Your slot you know Steven Mitchell George Campbell they need another big body to replace Marcel 8man and that could be Demarcus Bradley he’s you know he’s 6’2 almost 200 pounds you know we’ll see what happens there yeah I think that they’re in a good position yeah I mean it come down

To who dish in the Rock how much development uh Nick Tiano does and you know we’ll see if there’s any scheme change with um there’s any scheme change with uh quarterback uh the offensive the the offensive uh the the offensive coordinator um sometimes I feel like Greg kowsky got

Too cute you know what I mean but you know that’s just my opinion all right we got a couple more questions and we’ll start wrapping this up someone asking about Trayvon boyin uh he just where um I don’t remember where he signed but he’s he’s

He I don’t I he’s like 32 years old man like yeah and he’s not like an AJ McCarron 32 years old he’s a I haven’t been like playing organized football for a minute 32 years old so boyin let me pull it up yes he did sign with the

Massachusetts Pirates so he is in the ey of let’s let’s go down the um Rabbit Hole you know played in the uh LFA which if anyone’s got connections to the LFA your boy looking um he is uh wanting to go down there for a year and and Coach

But long story short um you know boyin yeah he had a lot of character issues and whatnot and you know super um you know coming out of college great great guy at um TCU as and uh I mean you know actually played in some game played a little running back

For the Seahawks as well it was pretty uh pretty crazy but you know he’s if he goes and tears it up in the uh in the IFL man like hell come on down you know let’s make that comeback you know yeah all right we we’ll get our last comment here for we

Sign off just max borgi go to the battle box yeah I I I you know Flex my ego a little bit I was the one that leaked that out so you know hella hella hella Impressions on that one you know what I mean yeah he’s a he’s a beast he’s so

  1. awesome content . been looking forward to something like this. Agreed on Dormandy being a great fit for STL .. I like McLendon to go to Brahmas.. think he can be a star , but a bit risky for STL

  2. I hope it's the Gamblers. If not then if they do add 2 new teams in 2025 it should be 2 USFL to even it out to 5 teams each from the XFL and USFL. Most likely bring back the Breakers and the other team Maulers/Stars/Generals playing in there home market

  3. To combat Pat’s point on non QB needy teams. This is spring football, the competition is never over. This isn’t the NFL. St.Louis, San Antonio, Michigan, Birmingham, DC, Memphis, Houston, and Arlington should add a QB.

  4. Someone said no more 2 qb system. I strongly disagree. Switching up based on plays and performance is what makes the leagues interesting

  5. I have to say I"really have some big concerns with how the people in charge of the UFL are running things. Top officials constantly saying one thing and then another thing, Straight up lying, Very unprofessional. Because of this, I think the UFL will fail because of uncompetitive people running things At this point I wouldn't be surprised at the last second they replace the UFL with the AAF
