The United Football League (UFL) announced that over 19 percent of its 400 players, totaling 77 individuals, have signed with NFL teams following the 2024 UFL season.
Executive Vice President of Football Operations, Daryl Johnston, remarked, “It’s been exciting to see the number of players who have been called up to the NFL since we concluded our inaugural UFL season on June 16. Our league provides a non-traditional path that players can use to achieve their ultimate goal of playing in the NFL and the NFL is taking notice. We have proven over the last three years that Spring Football is a viable option for NFL teams to augment their rosters and the success of players like KaVontae Turpin, Brandon Aubrey, and P.J. Walker validates that trust. We are very proud of the great work our league has done to showcase our talented players and provide this opportunity for them to play on football's grandest stage.”
UFL President and CEO Russ Brandon added, “It is a real credit to our athletes who created a culture of success since the day they arrived at training camp back in February. It also spotlights each of the individuals who are a part of the football infrastructure we built with our coaching, training, medical, equipment, video, performance science, operations, and player personnel staffs.”
Out of the 32 NFL teams, 30 have turned to the UFL to fill positions on their rosters as they prepare for the 2024 season.
