Over the last few years we’ve seen a few football leagues try and exist in the NFL’s shadow, and now we’re seeing the return of one from the long ago past. The United States Football League, commonly known as simply the USFL, is returning in 2022. The USFL last operated in 1985 before seizing to exist, but the league is trying to make a comeback as a spring football league.
From February 22-23, the USFL held its first draft in decades, and several former Falcons were selected. It’s a great opportunity for those who may of fallen through the cracks to get a second chance and continue their passion of playing football professionally.
