There might not be any star power like Terrell Owens or Johnny Manziel in the plans to be in the XFL, but the reboot of the football league has a long list of former NFL players that will try once again to show what they got to get back into the league.
In advance of the October 15-16 XFL Draft, eight teams that need need 71 players each will have a long list of names that fans have heard of and who burned out in the NFL.
Defensive end Kony Ealy, running back Trent Richardson, quarterback Tyree Jackson, quarterback Zach Mettenberger, running back Christine Michael, quarterback Connor Cook, running back Jonas Gray, kicker Roberto Aguayo, receiver Sammie Coates, quarterback Joe Callahan, long snapper Nate Boyer, receiver Ryan Broyles, running back Lance Dunbar, punter Jeff Locke, receiver Max McCaffrey, kicker Nick Novak, receiver Jacoby Ford, punter Brad Wing, running back Matt Jones, safety Rahim Moore, fullback Aaron Ripkowski, tight end Orson Charles, fullback Tommy Bohanon, tight end Clay Harbor, and tackle Cyrus Kouandijo.
They might not have the star power yet, but the XFL will certainly have NFL level talent. The biggest challenge will be to develop stars and possibly keep them there.
