The Alliance of American Football will kick off on Saturday, a new league with many former NFL stars. The league is backed by several major names that were once part of the NFL, such as Bill Polian, Troy Polamalu and Hines Ward.
It will also feature several rules that differ from the NFL, most notably the fact that there will be no kickoffs and teams must go for two-point conversions after touchdowns. In addition, players will be required to get just one foot inbounds to complete a reception, much like college football.
Most importantly, players will be given the chance to continue their playing careers.
