The Fan Controlled Football League says it is in talks with 1998 Heisman Trophy winner Ricky Williams and Pro Football Hall of Famer Brian Urlacher to play for the upstart circuit, a person with knowledge of the situation told Touchdown Wire on Wednesday. That person was not authorized to speak on the record because of ongoing discussions but confirmed the league’s interest in Williams and Urlacher.
It would represent a remarkable feat if either player does return to the field to play for the FCFL. Williams, 43, last played in the NFL in the 2011 season.
