What channel is the USFL Draft on today? Start time, pick order to follow 2023 player selections
The NFL season may be over. But football fans still hungry for action need not look too far. Not with the USFL back in action.
Everyone’s second (or third) favorite football league returns for its third season after bouncing back to prominence in 2020. This year looks set to be an especially exciting one for the competitive contender brand hoping to eclipse competitor XFL and cement it’s place among the up-and-coming sports leagues.
Last year’s season provided a platform for players like KaVontae Turpin to show off their skills. Who from this year’s crop will emerge as a potential contributor to the next level?
That remains to be seen. But the events taking place at USFL headquarters on Tuesday will certainly play a big part in that; Teams will enter the annual college draft and revitalize their rosters with players hoping to hold on and continue in their professional careers.
