Former Michigan RB De’Veon Smith cut from USFL for wanting pizza instead of chicken salad in absurd video

There’s spring football this year in the form of the USFL — and there’s been some positives and negatives to this point.

Week 1 attendance was very low, a league where every game is played in Birmingham, Alabama. However, over 3 million viewers watched their inaugural game on Saturday (simulcast on FOX and NBC).

The reasons above aren’t why people are talking about the USFL, though. It’s because of a really odd video featuring former Michigan running back, De’Veon Smith.

The video features Pittsburgh Maulers head coach Kirby Wilson laying the law down — you better be okay with eating chicken salad or you’re out of the league.
