There's a Former Michigan Player in the Fan Controlled Football League
I always enjoy scouring the rosters of teams in obscure football leagues in search of former Wolverines. The newly rebranded Fan Controlled Football League started play earlier this month with four teams all playing in Duluth, Georgia. The big names in the league are Johnny Manziel and Deondre Francois, but there's also an ex-Michigan player on the roster. Can you guess who it is?
Time's up. It's Berkley Edwards - son of Stan, brother of Braylon, former Michigan, Minnesota and CMU player. He spent six years in college playing for three teams, finishing up by playing special teams for Michigan.
If you want to see him score a touchdown, go to the 6:03 mark of THIS VIDEO.
Good luck, Berkley!

We're everywhere.

I don't know what this league is, but I have no doubt that Braylon Edward's brother will make his presence known

berkley edwards just trademarked the #31 wyld aces jersey and will have final say on who gets to wear it in the future.

A worthy investment. Getting advice from his dad, no doubt.

Josh Gordon is joining the league too.

He and Johnny are going to “wreck this league,” assuming they don’t test for recreational drugs.

Great that he can still play/enjoy the sport we all love.

I'd never heard of the Fan Controlled Football League, and had to look it up on wikipedia:

Sounds ridiculous to me, but it's hard to imagine it's going to last very long.
Incredible busts and flameouts are a regular occurrence in the NFL, and Manziel is one of the more notable ones.

Kinda seems like a gimmick. Obviously arena football is nothing new, but common. Rock, Paper, Scissors to determine who gets the ball?

I know the guy that runs it. It's the 3rd incarnation of this fan run league. This is 7 on 7. His last venture was full pads. He had an app. The games were streamed on twitch and you'd vote on the plays. There were preferred users so if you paid more you could get more votes. It was novel but I'm not sure it was viable. If it was why did he bail?
He was also on the Canadian version of Shark Tank but didn't get money. He is, if nothing else, tenacious.

Berkeley wishes Berkley well.
(Berkeley also wishes, for pattern's sake, to be spelled "Berekeley.")

I totally was thinking Justin Feagin.
