Shane Bowman just wanted another chance to play football — and the former Husky was excited he had a chance to do that while staying at home with the XFL Seattle Dragons.
“Honestly, I could not have had a better situation with me living here and all of my family here,” the former Bellevue High School star said last month at the end of the team’s minicamp. “I couldn’t be happier to be here.”
But there are no givens in professional football, and Bowman now will play on the other side of the country after the Dragons traded him Sunday to Tampa Bay for receiver Alonzo Moore and guard William Campbell.
