The United Football League, the merger between the XFL and USFL, held a “Dispersal Draft” on Monday to round out the rosters of the teams who survived the two leagues combining, selecting players from franchises who folded, including the Pittsburgh Maulers. Five former Pittsburgh Steelers were picked up.
RB Jaylen Warren headlines the list, selected by the San Antonio Brahmas.
