Former Wildcat Nick Folk shines in his AAF League debut

In the long-anticipated debut of the Alliance of American Football (AAF), one former Wildcat made his appearance as well. After a long, 11-year stint in the NFL, former Wildcat kicker Nick Folk returned to the great state of Arizona, kicking for the ‘Hotshots’.

Making his debut for the Arizona Hotshots, Folk hasn’t played football since 2017, when he last played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Despite being away from the sport, he surely didn’t seem to miss a beat, impressing on Sunday evening.

Used as bit of a development league, the AAF is supposed to help players transition to and from the NFL, with fairly similar rules.
