The XFL completed its draft at the end of last year, and after following that with training camps in January, rosters have now been finalized for all eight teams. Players who have slipped through the cracks fill up a large portion of these rosters. These are players who either have been hampered by injuries or, for one reason or another, haven't been able to find a roster fit in the NFL. That certainly doesn't mean they lack talent; the difference between some XFL starters and some NFL backups is pretty slim. Who knows, some of these players may go on to get another shot at the NFL.
Many fans are likely to follow a team based on players they knew from college or the pros. So if you're looking for a XFL team to support, perusing over the rosters is a great place to start. Here are all eight rosters for the 2020 season. If nothing else, some of the names that pop up will be sure to surprise you.
