The XFL is back — and it’s got new owners and new spring football competition. Dany Garcia, Dwayne Johnson and RedBird Capital Partners have taken over Vince McMahon’s twice-failed league (once via pandemic, once via terrible decision making) and will vie against the revived USFL for viewers this February.
While we already knew the eight teams that would make up the latest incarnation of the institution that gave us He Hate Me and Tommy Maddox and who’d be coaching them — Wade Phillips! Bob Stoops! Hines Ward! — we didn’t know who’d make up those rosters. In fact, without a published list of eligible players we couldn’t even accurately wonder who might follow in the footsteps of PJ Walker and Jordan Ta’amu as the stars of XFL 3.0.
