The NFL has been the pinnacle of football for years. However, there have been many other leagues that have come and gone, and on Tuesday a new league held their draft as teams began to fill out their rosters.
The United States Football League (or USFL), held the first day of their 2022 draft, which consisted of 12 rounds. Multiple former Baltimore Ravens players were selected over the course of the night, including quarterback Kenji Bahar, edge Aaron Adeoye, and cornerbacks Mazzi Wilkins as well as Terrell Bonds.
