Long List of Former Steelers to Make XFL Debut Next Week

PITTSBURGH -- The XFL is only a week away and as the NFL gears up for Super Bowl Sunday, the inaugural weekend of the new pro league is preparing to hit the field and begin their journey into year one.

It was this time last year the AAF was ready for kickoff, only to be shut down 10 games into the season. Unlike the former league, WWE CEO Vince McMahon has said the league is ready to take off by storm with funding that can hold the teams together for the next three seasons.

Amongst those competing in the new-found league are dozens of players who have spent some time in Pittsburgh. Headlined by Dallas Renegades quarterback Landry Jones and D.C. Defenders stars, Eli Rogers and Shamarko Thomas, the Steelers will have plenty of representation on the field during the initial season.

First game of the season next week. Can’t wait!
