XFL Announces Draft Process, Dates and First Batch of Players

In theory, the Tampa Bay Vipers should have a hand up on the competition when the XFL Draft takes place later this month. Given that it’s a ‘snake draft’.

Bad pun jokes aside, the new professional football league officially announced their process for building the league’s eight professional franchises.

In a press release, the league announced their inaugural draft will happen on Tuesday, October 15th and Wednesday, October 16th. Player selections will be announced on XFL.com, on Twitter (@xfl2020) and on Instagram (@xfl).

Considering this draft will be completely announced online and on social media, it’s certainly unique and a solid use of current technology.
