3 Wolverines enter the XFL Draft pool
October 7th, 2019 at 3:52 PM ^
Is Shea one of them? Asking for the board
October 7th, 2019 at 4:19 PM ^
Stride in Space
October 7th, 2019 at 7:12 PM ^
Gonna be drafted by Pep.
October 7th, 2019 at 3:54 PM ^
I mean good for them, but I don't see how this iteration of the XFL lasts any longer than a year again. They even picked cities/areas that already have an NFL presence.
October 7th, 2019 at 3:58 PM ^
This one is gonna be no WWF/E influence and have all the more focus on the football. People were excited for the AAF when it launched.
October 7th, 2019 at 4:17 PM ^
They weren't excited enough to go to or watch games.
October 7th, 2019 at 5:03 PM ^
The AAF actually got pretty good ratings. The issue was that they didn't get enough initial investment to stay afloat during the first season and/or to renegotiate a TV deal with CBS.
October 7th, 2019 at 4:00 PM ^
Yeah, it seems unlikely this sticks around, but at the same time the WWE signed a big deal with Fix and it's content.
October 7th, 2019 at 4:20 PM ^
They aren't trying to compete with the NFL. They want to draft off of them in more ways than one.
October 7th, 2019 at 3:55 PM ^
Give me a minute. I'm scanning the list to see who will be the new He Hate Me.
October 7th, 2019 at 4:01 PM ^
Odds are on Conner Cook taking up the mantle!
October 7th, 2019 at 4:27 PM ^
That is assuming he is going to be drafted before CJ Collins - QB, SW Assembly of God.
October 7th, 2019 at 5:06 PM ^
It may very well be time to resurrect #DraftedBeforeConnorCook
October 7th, 2019 at 5:42 PM ^
October 7th, 2019 at 4:26 PM ^
There can only be one and I is me.
October 7th, 2019 at 5:08 PM ^
I saw a joke on the internet it said. AB will be the new “she hate me”
October 7th, 2019 at 3:58 PM ^
Former wolverines. It also might not have hurt to have their last names in the topic.
October 7th, 2019 at 3:59 PM ^
You're always a Wolverine if you've worn the Winged Helmet.
October 7th, 2019 at 3:59 PM ^
edit: double post.
October 7th, 2019 at 3:58 PM ^
Also LTT.
October 7th, 2019 at 3:58 PM ^
I respect them! Good for them! Stay at it. Stay somewhat relevant and perhaps find a way into the NFL!
October 7th, 2019 at 3:59 PM ^
LTT too.
October 7th, 2019 at 3:59 PM ^
I see Logan Tulley Tillman listed as well.
October 7th, 2019 at 4:38 PM ^
Devin Lucien should have been a Wolverine, he is on the list.
October 7th, 2019 at 4:00 PM ^
We really are living in a simulation if we get to use #DraftedBeforeConnorCook again in this lifetime.
October 7th, 2019 at 4:14 PM ^
Roberto Aguayo never learned to kick again, huh? Shame.
October 7th, 2019 at 4:19 PM ^
These guys would all like to make a statement.
October 7th, 2019 at 4:25 PM ^
Berkley Edwards was a very productive and influential player for the University of Michigan.
October 7th, 2019 at 7:50 PM ^
Braylon? Is that you?
October 7th, 2019 at 4:25 PM ^
I think Sydney Omameh is Patrick's brother, if we're documenting Michigan connections.
October 7th, 2019 at 4:26 PM ^
I think this time the XFL is sticking around, at least for longer than original. a good friend of mine is the COO of one of the teams ( I'll spare him any ridicule so not mentioning his name). We have had lunch a few times and he says from the top down they are running this like the "league" and are serious about it working. My friend played for 9 years in the league so he knows. This will be interesting for sure but here is to them having success
October 7th, 2019 at 5:04 PM ^
Since I didn’t follow closely enough to know, why did the AAF fail, and can the XFL 2.0 avoid the same problems and be able to stick around?
October 7th, 2019 at 6:05 PM ^
From what I can gather it was basically not enough initial funding to allow them to continue to operate and poor adminstration/management that torpedoed any remaining chance the league had.
October 7th, 2019 at 6:55 PM ^
Money and investment. I don’t know if this league will last but Vince has a lot of money and a he’s willing to invest and he has others that are willing to as well.
October 7th, 2019 at 4:33 PM ^
One of these dudes is from "Globe Tech", which TIL is a now-defunct for-profit college in Manhattan that for God knows what reason had a football team before the school closed in 2016.
October 7th, 2019 at 4:44 PM ^
i can't be the only one who has/had no idea who berkley edwards is.
October 7th, 2019 at 5:09 PM ^
He was our 2nd kickoff returner and a 6th year grad transfer from Minnesota. Braylon Edwards younger brother. Unfortunately his last game was him being stretchered out of Michigan Stadium after a scumbag IU player made a dirty hit.
October 7th, 2019 at 5:20 PM ^
ty. had zero recollection.
October 7th, 2019 at 5:12 PM ^
You mention Berkeley and not LTT?
October 7th, 2019 at 5:29 PM ^
Well, one was kicked off the team years ago and the other wasn't. Kinda forgot about him.
October 7th, 2019 at 5:39 PM ^
They really need to call this the draft portal.
October 7th, 2019 at 5:57 PM ^
WE've got enough football these days and none of it is any good. I don't even watch the NFL anymore. Doubt this league would be any better. I think its weird that people keep trying this.
Watch the Rugby World CUp - its much more interesting!
October 7th, 2019 at 9:10 PM ^
For their sake I hope the league is successful. However, history is against them (USFL, XFL 1, AAF, etc).
October 7th, 2019 at 9:55 PM ^
CJ Collins QB - SW Assembly of God
That's some Key & Peele shit right there
October 8th, 2019 at 12:52 AM ^
I hope it all works out. I also like that Seattle is the Dragons. My daughter loves dragons. I'll take her to a game.
I'm hoping there is a Michigan player on the Dragons.
October 8th, 2019 at 5:48 AM ^
Sounds like Vince McMahon is willing to invest a lot of money in the second go around of the XFL. The AAF had money issues and their TV deal was not great. I believe the AAF was actually paying the production costs to appear on CBS and was making little or no money from their TV deal. It seemed like the AAF was trying to launch before the XFL even if they weren’t really ready. If Vince is willing to be patient the new XFL may have a shot at working.
