WATCH: Troy Aikman nearly gets hit on sidelines while offering major props to XFL

The XFL is getting strong reviews from current and former players. During the game between the St. Louis Battlehawks and Dallas Renegades Sunday, ESPN’s Pat McAfee snagged an interview with former Dallas Cowboy QB and Pro Football Hall of Famer Troy Aikman.

The current FOX analyst, who works alongside Joe Buck, was effusive in his praise of the new league. FOX does show XFL games, so one could view Aikman’s take with some caution. However, he did make salient points about what the NFL could gleam from the XFL.

Aikman also had to make a quick move to get out of the way of a play that headed the way of McAfee and him during the interview.

Aikman also mentioned he was at the game to show support for former teammate Daryl “Moose” Johnston, the acting GM of the Dallas Renegades.
