Five former Saints players picked in the first phase of the XFL Draft

Nearly twenty former New Orleans Saints players are eligible in the inaugural XFL Draft, and five of them already have new teams to join and cities to represent. Like the NFL Draft, the XFL splits its player-selection process up over a few days; however, there are several important distinctions in its structure, which you can read about here.

The first phase concluded on Tuesday, which included ten rounds of picks for each of the eight teams. The remaining rounds will wrap up on Wednesday. Here’s where each of the five Saints players picked already wound up:

  • Wide receiver Seantavius Jones joined the Tampa Bay Vipers, coached by Marc Trestman with Aaron Murray at quarterback.
