The USFL has rebooted with eight teams, and the inaugural season will take place in Alabama. And the first overall pick in the draft is someone quite familiar to Michigan football fans.
After having missed out on the NFL, save for a stint as an undrafted free agent with the Kansas City Chiefs, former Wolverines quarterback Shea Patterson saw time in the CFL as well as The Spring League. On Tuesday evening, as the USFL draft got underway, Patterson was announced to have a new opportunity, as he was picked No. 1 overall by the Michigan Panthers, ensuring that he’ll remain in the state.
