XFL talk - could you make it on a team?

[unit321]

Be real, could you attend an open combine and get a contract to play on an XFL team?
The combine would be run similar to an NFL combine. You have an application that lists your previous sports history. And then, the combine tests your physical strength, speed and acceleration, and skills. You would be going up against ex-college football players, current college football players, ex-rugby players, current rugby players, NFL practice team guys, CFL players, ex-NFL Europe players, ex-Arena football players, power lifters, bodybuilders, fitness trainers, 'straight out of high school' football players, and Johnny Manziel.

I would have to say no, I could not make the roster.

Do you play the game the right way and have good fundamentals?

Well, there are some guys here who played football, are in good physical fitness, and would give it a try to play in pro sports.

Really, I could try out being the player who catches the ball that is to be punted. But, there are a bunch of guys who have more experience than me who could do that better. It sounds easy, but you have catch the ball and put it down at the right angle with the threads the right way so the kicker can punt it good. It's a reliability thing. You fumble and it is bad.
