Brandon Silvers, who threw for more than 10,000 yards during his career at Troy and spent time this past spring on the New York Jets’ roster, was announced Tuesday morning as the quarterback assigned to the Seattle Dragons of the new XFL.
Silvers, who led Troy to bowl victories as a junior and senior, was not selected in the 2018 NFL draft, but was invited to participate in New Orleans’ rookie minicamp that spring. The Saints did not sign Silvers, who was then taken in the third round of the quarterback draft in the short-lived Alliance of American Football by the Memphis Express.
