Handful of former Vikings playing in new football league this weekend

Playing in the NFL for the Minnesota Vikings or any other team is a dream that very few people are able to achieve in their lifetime. In fact, less than one percent of high school seniors who play football actually end up hearing their name called a few years later during the NFL Draft.

For those who are unable to keep a spot on an NFL team, there haven’t been many other legitimate options to turn to for those who would still like to continue a career in professional football. At least until recently.

On Saturday, the inaugural matchups of the Alliance of American Football will take place around the United States.
