Former Viking scores first touchdown in XFL v3.0

The third incarnation of the XFL officially kicked off yesterday, and a former member of the Minnesota Vikings was the first player to find the end zone.

Wide receiver Jeff Badet, who I believe has been a part of pretty much every spring football league over the last four or five years, scored the first touchdown of the XFL season for the Vegas Vipers, hauling in a 5-yard touchdown pass from Luis Perez.

Badet plays for the Vegas Vipers, who got out to a 14-3 halftime lead over the Arlington Renegades but wound up on the losing end of things by a final score of 22-20.
