With the United Football League season in the books following the Birmingham Stallions stomping out the San Antonio Brahmas in the UFL Championship Game on Sunday, 25-0, all players from the league are now allowed to talk to and sign with NFL teams.
And, really, that is always the ultimate goal of these players in lower leagues. Most of them are cast-offs from the big show who are hoping to get another chance in the NFL by standing out over the course of their league’s season.
We saw no shortage of UFL players stand out, with the best example being Michigan Panthers kicker Jake Bates, who nailed a bunch of field goals from eye-popping distances that caught the attention of several NFL teams.
Bates is just one player who has already landed with an NFL team in the wake of his standout season. Keep scrolling to follow along with our tracker for all of the latest reported signings of UFL players to NFL rosters. The most recent reported moves are at the top.
