The XFL is set to kick off in just a bit under a month from now, and when it does, it will be pretty lacking in star power—as should go without saying for a non-NFL football league. The stars play in the NFL. That’s just the way it is, and probably the way it will be for quite a while. The XFL obviously has plans to change that, but they have to start off on the ground floor.
They will be doing so with some names we will recognize as former members of the Pittsburgh Steelers, including Eli Rogers, who played five seasons in Pittsburgh, albeit with two of them spent predominantly on injured reserve for the PUP list.
