The XFL draft officially began Tuesday morning with over 1,000 professional football players available to be picked from the league’s draft pool. The eight-team league has a unique “snake” format that includes five phases. They are the Skill Phase, Offensive Line Phase, Defensive Front Seven Phase, Defensive Back Phase, and Open Phase.
Several ex-Packers who declared eligible were selected over the two-day period. Some you may remember, some you probably won’t. In case you do watch the XFL in 2020 and hear a familiar name, below is our reference list of ex-Packers who were either drafted or are still eligible to join a team.
