The newly fashioned USFL had their draft February 22nd and 23rd to fill the rosters of their new 8 teams. Now, I'm trying to not be cynical because I do want this league to survive and provide opportunities for players to reach the NFL. Just like I wanted the XFL to make it, and the American Alliance League, and the XFL again.
To be fair though...I just want the cards. After the draft, I count 8 Iowa Connections in the league, with the Michigan Panthers leading the way with 2. Houston currently with zero, but each team has end of rosters, practice squads and coaching staffs to fill.
Here are the 8 Iowa Connections in the league:
 |
| Seth Thomas, OT, UNI (Birmingham) |
 |
| Derrick Willies, WR, Iowa (Tampa Bay) |
 |
| Kamilo Tongamoa, DT, ISU (New Orleans) |
 |
| Jackson Brown, G, UNI (Philadelphia) |
 |
| Angelo Garbutt, LB, Iowa (New Jersey) |
 |
| Kirby Wilson, HC, ISU (Pittsburgh) |
 |
| Jaquan Bailey, DT, ISU (Michigan) |
 |
| La'Michael Pettway, TE, ISU (Michigan) |
Its still early, but currently the leader for the team with the blog's support is the Michigan Panthers. Three reason for this are:
Michigan is the closest to Iowa
Michigan has twice as many Iowa Connections as any other team
Michigan Panthers followed me on Twitter!
