A lot has happened since the arrival of the second version of the XFL last season. Since it folded due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the most famous man in the world, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, has now purchased the company. Apparently the former WWE superstar and CFL player had big plans with the most recent announcement of the league merging with the Canadian Football League.
The CFL has been around for over 60 years and their formula of three-down chaos has been consistently successful, which is the exact opposite of the XFL who has had two separate tries almost two decades apart. With that said, the COVID-19 pandemic put a huge strain on the CFL. It had to cancel its 2020 season, which has almost put the league in jeopardy. Teaming up with a wealthy “The Rock” might be the juice the league needs to keep the train chugging along.
All of this news about spring football returning and the merger of these alternative leagues forced me to think about all of the former Ohio State Buckeye legends who suited up for these two leagues and below are some of the more notable names.
