The inaugural draft for USFL 2.0 began on Tuesday night and the Michigan Panthers were given the first pick.
They didn't take took long, nor did they go too far in selecting their quarterback. Former Michigan football QB Shea Patterson was the first player off the board for the Panthers. Per USFL rules, the first round selections made be each of the eight teams had to choose a quarterback.
The Toledo native was seen most recently playing for the Montreal Allouettes in the Canadian Football League. Before that, he was most notably at Ole Miss and Michigan where Patterson was named an All-Big Ten selection in 2018 and 2019.
