The USFL and XFL combined to send 111 players to NFL training camps in 2023. Expect that pipeline to continue for the UFL in 2024.
For Jim Popp, the devil is in the details. The UFL's vice president of player personnel, part of Popp's job is helping players grow and develop in the new spring league, with an eye toward reaching their goal of playing in the NFL. That's something the XFL and USFL accomplished before the merger into a new league this season. In 2023, the XFL and USFL had a combined 111 players sign with NFL teams for training camps, with 35 sticking as active players or on practice squads.
However, Bates was not as consistent kicking outdoors, making 6 of 10 from outside this season. TE Cole Hikutini: An athletic tight end who also showed an ability to move bodies in the run game, at 6-foot-4 and 240 pounds, the 29-year-old averaged 17 yards per reception during the regular season.RB Nate McCrary: Matt Colburn and Wes Hills carried the running game, but McCrary showed explosive playmaking ability in limited snaps and is just 25 years old.
