The XFL is officially in business and will kickoff their return season on Saturday with a matchup between the Seattle Dragons and DC Defenders.
Unlike the last time around, the XFL will focus on actual football without dangerous rules, funky jersey names and other sidebar attractions here in 2020. And if you’re looking for a team to root for, we’re here to help.
The XFL will feature a substantial amount of names familiar to fans of the New York Giants, from executives to coaches to players.
Here’s a look at each team and their Giants connections (with years), including those who were just on an offseason roster or practice squad.
Dallas Renegades
- QB Eric Dungey (2019)
- S Tenny Adewusi (2019)
- RB Austin Walter (2019)
All three players listed above were members of the Giants’ offseason roster, but did not make it onto the 53-man roster.
The Renegades also have wide receiver Flynn Nigel on their roster. He worked out for the Giants last year, but never signed.
