The USFL and XFL have officially announced their plans to merge into what is rumored as the “NSFL” (National Spring Football League). What if this is the eventual next step towards the NFL creating a developmental league and new pipeline for talent?
It’s something to think about.
The NFL lacks true opportunities for developing players, coaches, referees, executives and even testing rules they want to implement. A potential acquisition by the NFL would mark a huge step forward for the overall product on the field. It is even helpful for game planning, practicing and injury rehab.
We’re going to get into what that could look like, and what I would do if I was in charge of merging the NSFL into the NFL as a developmental league, creating the NDFL (National Developmental Football League).
