Now five contests into the relaunch of Vince McMahon’s XFL, the Houston Roughnecks are the only undefeated team and the obvious favorites to win the title game.
The league is filled with talent from the NFL, including a handful of players who made a stop in Nashville during their professional careers.
Here’s a look at three former Titans who stood out midway through the XFL season.
WR Austin Proehl, Seattle Dragons
Proehl just barely qualifies to be on this list, given he was only with the Titans for a day.
But his performance this week as the Dragons’ top pass-catcher earns him a place.
Proehl was one of Seattle’s most important players on offense, finishing out the team’s 32-23 road loss to the Houston Roughnecks with three receptions for 56 yards.
WR Tre McBride, Los Angeles Wildcats
McBride has been making noise among XFL wideouts as of late, and was a factor in the Wildcats’ 41-34 victory over the Tampa Bay Vipers.
The ex-Titan recorded three receptions for 35 yards and a touchdown on Sunday.
WR MeKale McKay, New York Guardians
McKay didn’t have a huge outing, but he’s consistently been noticeable on the stat sheet as at least a quiet contributor.
The wideout totaled three receptions for 67 yards to finish out as team’s second-most impactful receiver in the Guardians’ 30-12 road win over the Dallas Renegades.
