UFL Spring: Browns' Overlooked Talent

0:00On March 28th, Spring football is locking in for the long haul, with the UFL hitting its third season starting March 27th. Unlike the old days when the NFL ditched minor leagues, this setup is giving players a solid spring shot. 5X Cleveland Browns are lacing up, all gunning to claw back to the big leagues. Take Dorian Thompson Robinson, the 5th round quarterback who bombed out with Cleveland after a rough 1-4 record and 10 picks. Now at 26, he's battling for the starting gig with the Orlando Storm. Then there's Siyaki Ika, the massive 335-pound defensive tackle who barely saw the field as a third-rounder. Meanwhile, guys like Linebacker Tony Fields, the second stuck around three seasons on special teams before getting cut. Offensive lineman Leroy Watson bounced through a few squads after the Browns traded him and tweener Charlie Thomas, flash potential, but got. Side line by injury, all still in their mid-twenties, they're young enough to turn heads. These leagues have already funneled dozens of players to NFL training camps, stabilizing what started with the Alliance back in 2019.
