Former Notre Dame Fighting Irish defensive tackle Kona Schwenke is looking to prove his worth to a NFL club by joining The Spring League, which bills itself as “an elite developmental league & scouting event for professional football talent.”
The league will play games between April 7 and April 12 in Austin, Texas. The four teams’ rosters include guys looking for redemption (such as former Texas A&M Aggies quarterback Johnny Manziel, who played briefly with the Cleveland Browns), guys returning from injury (former Arkansas Razorbacks wide receiver Greg Childs, who hasn’t played since tearing tendons in both knees during a 2012 game with the Minnesota Vikings) and guys who made it to NFL minicamps or practice squads, but never saw the field.
