A list of former Eagles players on XFL rosters

by Jimmy Kempski

On the Saturday after the Super Bowl, the XFL will kick off its second attempt at existence. Because I can't think of anything short to write this morning, I went through each of the XFL teams' rosters (which was fun), and found all the players who were at one time on the Birds' 53-man roster, 90-man training camp roster, or found their way onto their practice squad at one time or another.

by Jimmy Kempski

On Day 3 of Senior Bowl practices, we were moved South Alabama's campus for an indoor practice, and the view wasn't particularly awesome, so for this version, I'll just name the player at each position that I think is the best fit for the Eagles.
