He did it again as if he never left the field. Yet, it’s a whole new year, a whole new season.
Former Michigan cornerback Channing Stribling led the upstart USFL last year in interceptions. Last season for the Philadelphia Stars, Stribling appeared in seven games and had seven interceptions. It turns out, he had no intention of slowing down despite it being a new year.
Well, so far so good in 2023, as former Arizona State and Memphis quarterback Brady White dropped back and threw the ball right to an open Stribling, waiting patiently for the play to come to him.
First INT of the season ✔️

Stribling was paired with current Dallas Cowboys cornerback Jourdan Lewis while wearing a winged helmet, and the duo led the country with the nation’s No. 1 pass defense in 2016. Stribling went undrafted and had a few cracks at some NFL training camps and even found himself on a few practice squads — including the Cleveland Browns, Indianapolis Colts (twice), San Francisco 49ers, Washington Commanders, and Los Angeles Chargers — but never got to see any actual game time. He then tried his hand at the AAF, XFL, and CFL, but appears to have found a home where he can thrive in the USFL.
