Ep. 15: The AAF Championship Game and QB Draft


Listen Later

What an amazing week! We have gotten a lot of information from the AAF about the upcoming QB draft and AAF championship game and some special news regarding the philanthropic nature of HC Mike Singletary.
News
Coach Mike Singletary is well known as “The Heart of the Defence” when he played for the Bears but now he’s showing heart in a different way. He is working with The Last Well to provide drinking want to Liberia.
“Just having a difficult time growing up when my parents divorced when I was young, and when you look back on those times, you think, ‘Wow, that was really difficult.’ And then you look across the world, you have a country of people — the forgotten people, who can’t even get a drink of clean water — you think again, ‘What the heck am I complaining about?’”
We may have a jersey leak. Instagram user, aafanalyst, posted what looks like a retail version of the Salt Lake Stallions jersey. It’s ugly. The bright side is that many believe this is a knockoff. I hope that is the case because it is that bad.
The AAF has lost another player to the NFL. Garret Grayson has been signed to the Denver Broncos’ practice squad after signing with the Stallions. A couple of key points to look at. While this may seem like a bad break for the Stallions, it could end up not being a big deal. It is possible for players to be signed to both an AAF and NFL team as long as said player is on the practice squad. As long as Grayson isn’t signed to the roster, he will be eligible to participate in the AAF training camp. I think. The QB draft is coming up at the end of November and I’m not sure how that will work yet. Stay tuned.
On a previous episode, we talked about the possibility of college players skipping their final semester to play for the Alliance of American Football in hopes of improving their draft stock. That has been refuted. The AAF will not allow players to sign until they’ve had a chance with the NFL.
New Era is the official sideline hat of the AAF. The guys over at The Shipyard Podcast did a deep-dive into this topic.
