Even though the XFL had been announced over a year ago, we are still a long way from its being launched—as in, an entire NFL season in between. So it’s not a shock that there are still a lot of details that are yet to be sorted out. Such as, oh, I don’t know, maybe player rosters or something like that.
Even the pool from which players will be chosen remains somewhat up in the air, as XFL Commissioner Oliver Luck implied when he appeared on Pro Football Talk Live. One of the topics that has been discussed in relation to the upstart league has been whether or not they would try to recruit college players who are not yet eligible to declare for the NFL Draft.
