There’s a new kid on the block playing in the streets of the next big football league. The XFL is making its return to American in 2020 after a 19-year hiatus. With its return approaching ever so quickly, the league has just wrapped up its inaugural XFL Draft which ran from Oct. 15-16.
Due to the fact that the league is entering its second first season this century, the draft worked a bit differently from the NFL’s. In order to distribute quarterback talent equally and fairly, ahead of the draft each team submitted a list of preferred players at the position with the league assigning each a “tier 1” quarterback accordingly.
