Chris Perry was drafted by the Orlando UFL team. Whatever that is. Also, former Wolverine CB Grant Mason was drafted. Brooks Bollinger will be his QB. Jim Haslett is Orlando's coach.
The team will play in the Citrus Bowl.
A couple other notes:
Looks like Randy Mueller is the GM for all 6 teams.
The league's New York franchise will have CJ Bacher and Brian Johnson (no, not AC/DC, but that Utah QB last year) for QBs. Pretty solid. Steve Sanders (90210?) also is a WR for New York.
JP Losman is the QB for Vegas. Wow.
especially in 2003, was a real treat. too bad the NFL didn't pan out, but good luck
...and being behind Rudi Johnson stunt his development?
It is too bad, 2003 was a stellar season for him.
He started for the first half of the year this year and just sucked. He had less than 3 yards per rush I think.
I got to meet Chris at the Super Bowl in Phoenix 2 years ago...he could not have been cooler. It was really sad to see what happened to him and I was really routing him after meeting him not only because he was a former Michigan player, but because he was so nice. Wish him the best of luck!
I'm a little surprised Perry is going to the UFL. He played badly in Cincy, but that team is a trainwreck, so I'm not sure that his lack of success there is all that representative of his abilities. The guy could still be an effective third down back with his pass catching abilities, and should be able to find a home once training camps open and teams start looking for a cheap backup.
His knee(s) are major limiting factor. We haven't seen the "real" Chris Perry since 2003.
Fumbling has also been a huge issue.
How could J Leman not make the UFL?
Because he is busy sellin cars for Daddy in Chambana!!!
