With the NFL season coming to a close, football fans will have another chance to watch a new professional league starting up the weekend following the Super Bowl. Making a return almost 20 years later when an attempt was made to start the league in 2001, the XFL is hoping to learn from the mistakes of last year‘s failed AAF. With eight teams in the league, the regular season will last 10 weeks before the top four teams move on to the playoffs.
If you’re planning to tune in to the debut games on Saturday and Sunday, there are several players across the league who have ties to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
