FAYETTEVILLE — Out-of-season football leagues have dominated headlines in recent months.
The XFL is being restored in the coming year and the Alliance of American Football both launched and folded since the Super Bowl.
Poor management doomed the AAF, but in two months it provided exposure for players trying to extend their football playing days past college.
Joe Craddock can relate to that feeling.
Now in his second year as Arkansas’ offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, Craddock is nine years removed from his own foray into playing professional football in the spring. Craddock played two seasons as a quarterback for the Parma Panthers of the Italian Football League.
