Former Panthers QB Matt Corral named starter for UFL’s Stallions

Matt Corral Panthers UFL Stallions

Matt Corral’s second chance kicks off this weekend.

As announced on Thursday night, Corral has been named the starting quarterback for the United Football League’s Birmingham Stallions. The Stallions, the reigning United States Football League (USFL) champions, will be taking on the Arlington Renegades, the reigning XFL champions, in the UFL’s season opener at 1 pm. ET on Saturday.

Corral began his pro career with the Carolina Panthers, who selected him with the 94th overall pick of the 2022 NFL draft. Carolina had to trade up to that spot for the Ole Miss star, a move that sent a 2022 fourth-rounder and a 2023 third-rounder to the New England Patriots.

Later that year, Corral sustained a Lisfranc injury in the team’s preseason outing in New England. He’d go on to miss the entirety of what would have been his rookie campaign.

The Panthers would go on to waive Corral the next summer. He was then claimed by the Patriots, who released him on Sept. 18, 2023.
