The XFL, a short-lived spring professional football league active during 2020, had its fair share of solid performances before its collapse, one of the brightest being P.J. Walker.

During his time with the XFL, Walker went 5-0, throwing for 14 touchdowns and 1338 yards through the five matchups. Walker was the favorite to win the XFL MVP award that season, but the league was prematurely shut down following financial issues with the league.

Walker received attention from the NFL for this and was signed by the Carolina Panthers in 2020 to a two-year contract.
