[meily]

I'm watching the All American Football League Draft right now, its a league were you have to be a College Graduate to play in (having played college football ofcourse) there are 8 teams I think, supposedly to parts of the country were football is 12 months a year and Michigan (my home state) is one of the teams and the draft is being held in my city (Ann Arbor)...I had no idea has anybody else heard of this league, season starts in april...I think I got my offseason football fix.

I am watching this as well...didn't even know they started this league. Willie Jackson is one of the protected players for Team Florida

To add to that, there is no mention on their website of his time in New Orleans.

Willie Jackson, WR:

Willie Jackson was All-SEC in 1992 and honorable mention All-America ('91, '92, '93). Willie completed his career at the University of Florida as the all-time leader in TD receptions (24) and second in catches with 162. He was selected to play in East-West Shrine Game and Hula Bowl in 1993. He played with the Dallas Cowboys in 1994, the Jacksonville Jaguars in 1995-97 and the Cincinnati Bengals in 1998 and 1999.

You can watch it online there. This has got me pretty curious alright, Chris Leak is playing for Florida, and I'm recognising some of the names. LSU's Marcus Randall is another.
The Arkansas team is the one probably most Saints fans will be pulling for. It seems the majority of their players are from Louisiana colleges.

It's like college and a 1/2. The players that graduated but couldn't make the cut in the NFL. with some exceptions.

Well I'm going on record to say that Team Michigan will be the best team......and I'm pretty excited to see the start of this league, I like how they kept it "football" and not try and make it different than the game we all have grown to love,

With the first overall pick, the Arkansas/Louisiana team selects Zarah Yisrael, OGhttp://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/profile.php?pyid=58004

Talk about an offseason time occupier, this is great!

I'll be pulling for Arkansas. I'm actually kind of excited about this league starting up. I'm sure it's not intended on being a farm system for the NFL, but it will be good for the players that still need development for them to make that next step to become a possible impact player for the NFL.

Michigan takes Braylon Edwards? They can use current NFL players?
NVM, he wa sjust making the pic lol

 

[yaygosaints]

Peter Warrick said he was using this to get back into the NFL, I'm guessing Chris Leak is going to try to get some NFL looks from this too.
