    UFL Premiere Draft

    I'm pretty excited about this actually, I tend to enjoy start up leagues... What I don't get is how the NFL is multi billion dollar industry yet the start up leagues cant stay a float... really think about it they way the UFL is doing it is putting teams in markets without teams yet for whatever reason it will probably fail. Sure your not going to see great football off the bat but hey, it's more football, it would be cool to have a developmental league for the NFL pretty much, you get to see some of your favorite college players that just are not NFL caliber or thought of like that...

    Personally if I was a league I would put a team in some of these college only areas then put a couple old college heros on the team to draw people to watch...

    Also looking into the UFL and they actually have some real coaches who a couple years ago were relevant, Haslett, D.Green, Fassel are 3 I see out of the 4 haven't see the last coach yet...

    Get Michael Vick in the league and people will watch might be a great thing for the league and vick, he gets them exposure and they get him NFL ready...

        Chris Perry...thats a bust. And Mike Doss.

        I'm actually a little disapointed with the rosters. The other startup league had more names I recognized in it. That doesn't really mean a whole lot though.

            I think this is a really good idea. I bet this will benefit the NFL in that it will eventually become a sort of 'minor league' or 'developmental' league that the NFL will probably have a sort of hand in where you can call up and send down players.

                Might as well bold Shane Boyd, Marcus Fitzgerald (Larry's brother) and Larry Triplett.

                But thanks for posting this, even though this league is doomed IMO.

                      There is a lot of recognizable names on that list that i saw. Even a lot you didn't bold. I'm can't wait to watch this. I wonder what channel it'll be aired on.

                        So all of these guys are confirmed to be in the league? Freakin Chris Perry and Brandon Moore were NFL starters just last year.

                              Agreed, maybe its because ive played Franchise leagues and watch a ton of college football but i recognize alot of names and im semi excited to watch this on Versus.
