Plenty of former Redskins players make XFL rosters

Last spring, the Alliance of American Football (AAF) attempted to make spring football a thing again. They didn’t last a full season before they had to fold.

But that won’t stop the XFL from attempting a comeback. The XFL was born in 2001 and lasted a single season before it was canceled. The theatrical display that was the league’s first season won’t take place in this attempted reboot 19 years later. Instead, the focus will be on football.

Time will only tell if the XFL is going to catch on. But one thing is certain. Among the players in the league, there are plenty of former Redskins that will be in action.
