Former Cincinnati Bengals Drew Plitt and AJ McCarron selected as XFL quarterbacks

XFL head coaches announced their quarterback selections, with the Arlington Renegades taking former Loveland High School standout and Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Drew Plitt, and the St. Louis Battlehawks adding former Bengals quarterback A.J. McCarron.

Plitt completed all six of his attempts in the Bengals' first preseason game against Arizona. Cincinnati waived him in August.

McCarron, who played his first four NFL seasons in Cincinnati after the Bengals drafted him in the fifth round in 2014, worked out for the Cleveland Browns in July.

Former Bengals quarterback Bruce Gradkowski is the Battlehawks' offensive coordinator.
