Last night I decided to switch my UFL docs from Excel to Google Sheets which means I can shared them publicly now. Here we have every UFL roster, a list of every player not drafted yesterday, and a running list of every player that has signed to the NFL.

Excited to announce that this month I’ve started working as a student assistant for the Towson football team. I want to thank @lanceyaniger for the opportunity. I don’t expect any changes to my work at PFN. Still plan on updating the roster doc as needed and writing articles.

Missed in the excitement behind the kickoff is a rule change that has a huge effect on the UFL. Suddenly there will be up to 64 additional NFL camp spots available than there was last year. Will likely boost the amount of UFL to NFL signings by a good few.

Biggest takeaway from our community rankings is that people are sleeping on San Antonio. They have top half of the league talent and if they’re able to put it all together, they could be firmly in the playoff mix.
