The United States Football League (USFL) was originally formed in 1983 and lasted three seasons before folding in 1986. In its short lifespan the USFL was able to sign some of the most talented football players of its time. Hershel Walker, Mike Rozier, Doug Flutie, Jim Kelly, Steve Young, and Reggie White all suited up for USFL teams straight out of college over the NFL.
37 years later the USFL is back. Eight teams in two divisions played a ten game season from April 16th-June 19th.
