Steve Young and Jim Kelley also came out of the USFL, and I think Doug Williams did a little time there as well. Of course, those 3 went for the paycheck; they were NFL players whether they did a little minor league grooming or not.
Re-reading parts of this thread, and I missed that item the first time. CFL and NFL teams used to be able to trade with each other? Fascinating!
Damn who was that guy that played for the Steelers, he was a career back up and then ended up having a pretty good NFL career, he was from Bedford TX, went to LD Bell High School, crap...... Tommy Maddox...... thank you wikipedia i can't believe i forgot that dude's name.
