XFL Draft Day One Recap Of Offensive Players – Skill Positions

XFL Quarterbacks From The Previous Day

To start the XFL each team announced who their initial quarterback room would contain. The Renegades are rolling with Drew Plitt and former USFL New Orleans Breakers’ quarterback Kyle Sloter. The Vipers announced they’d have Jalan McClendon and another USFL quarterback, Luis Perez. The Guardians are going to start camp with Quinten Dormady and Deondre Francois. The Roughnecks announced they would have Kaleb Eleby and Brandon Silvers. Brahmas went with Jawan Pass and Anthony Russo. The St. Louis Battlehawks are starting with Ryan Willis and former Cincinnati Bengal quarterback A.J. McCarron. The Sea Dragons are going with former XFL quarterback Ben DiNucci and Steven Montez. And finally, the Defenders are rolling with former Syracuse Orange quarterback, Eric Dungey. Defenders currently only have one as their other assigned quarterback D’Eriq King was picked up by Carolina Panthers.

Now let’s get a look at who they will be working with on offense as we break down the XFL draft day one recap of offensive players.

Round One

Round One Breakdown

Starting our XFL draft day recap of offensive players with the first round, the first player selected in the new XFL was running back Abram Smith out of Baylor. Smith had 1601 yards in his last year at Baylor in 2021. Second, taken in the XFL draft, and the first receiver taken Marcell Ateman out of Oklahoma State. Marcell had 1156 yards and 8 touchdowns in 2017. Ateman is a 6-4 receiver who spent time with the now Las Vegas Raiders up until 2021. Third was Jacques Patrick, running back out of Florida State. Patrick was in the 2020 version of the XFL and has since bounced around NFL camps. Charleston Rambo out of Miami was taken fourth. He was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Panthers this year but later released. Rambo had 1,172 receiving yards and seven touchdowns his last year at Miami.

The fifth player taken was Martavis Bryant, out of Clemson and former Pittsburgh Steeler. NFL fans are familiar with Martavis Bryant having flashes and now he gets another shot in a professional league.  Sixth was Liberty receiver Kevin Shaa. Shaa was an interesting pick as he doesn’t have a superior stat-filled resume as some of the others. Seventh was USFL standout tight end Sal Canella. Canella set a record for single-game receiving yards last year beating out all receivers. The last selection of the XFL draft day one was Adrian Killins, running back out of Central Florida. Killins spent time on the Eagles and Broncos the past two years.

Round One Winner: I really wanted to pick the Renegades for the Sal Canella pick but the ground game feels more important. We’ll give this round to the Brahmas for their selection of Jacques Patrick.

Round Two

Round Two Breakdown

Continuing into the second round of the XFL draft day recap of offensive players, the second tight end fell off the board when the Houston Roughnecks selected Garrett Owens out of Duquesne. He’s listed as a tight end but played running back in college, making him a versatile player. The second player taken in the second round was running back De’Montre Tuggle out of Ohio. Tuggle had 1851 career rushing yards for the Bobcats. Running back T.J. Hammonds out of Arkansas was taken next. Hammonds is another interesting choice as he had limited stats in college. Next was running back John Lovett out of Penn State. Lovett originally played for Baylor and finished 16th overall for career rushing yards for them with 1,803 rushing yards.

The first wide receiver of round two was Andrew Jamiel out of Stonehill. Jamiel has played in the FCF twice and the TSL. The sixth selection of round two in the XFL draft was running back Calvin Turner from Hawaii. Turner is a difference maker on the field who has played at both the running back and wide receiver position. The Battlehawks selected receiver Jamarcus Bradley out of Louisiana-Lafayette. Bradley has some experience in the NFL for the Browns. The last player in the second round was wide receiver Jequez Ezzard out of Sam Houston State. Ezzard had 2,529 yards and 27 receiving touchdowns in three years of college football.

Winner: The Brahmas win this one with their selection of Calvin Turner due to his versatility and speed.

Round Three

Round Three Breakdown

Next, round three of our XFL Draft day one recap of offensive players, and it was filled with all pass-catchers. The Defenders started by selecting K.D. Cannon out of Baylor. Cannon has professional experience with the XFL, TSL, and CFL. The Battlehawks selected tight end Jaylen Smith out of Louisville. Smith played receiver in college but his 6-2 frame makes him a speedy tight end that is hard to cover. Brahmas took Kendrick Rodgers next out of Texas A&M. Even with limited exposure at Texas A&M Rodgers garnered NFL interest. The Guardians took Stephen Guidry out of Mississippi State. Even after only amassing 49 receptions and 827 yards, Guidry had eight touchdowns. He’s a big 6-4 redzone target.

The Vipers’ third choice was tight end Brandon Dillon out of Marian. The 6-5 Dillon spent time with the Minnesota Vikings and was only the second player in the history of Marian University to make an NFL Roster. Wide receiver Juwan Green out of New York St-Albany was selected next. Green spent time with the Titans even after playing at such a small college. He’s used to proving himself. The Renegades took Lujuan Winningham from Central Arkansas. Winningham spent some time with the Jacksonville Jaguars this year. the last player in round three was receiver Cedric Byrd out of Hawaii. Byrd had 1,097 receiving yards his last year.

Winner: The Defenders win this one with their selection of K.D. Cannon who has a lot of experience at the professional level.

Arconado had 1,109 receiving yards his senior year and spent some time with the CFL. Mississippi receiver Jahcour Pearson was selected next by the Sea Dragons. Pearson is another player with limited exposure but big potential. The Vipers took tight end Sean Price out of South Florida.

Round Six

Round Six Breakdown

Over halfway through the XFL draft day one recap of offensive players in the skill positions and into the sixth round. The Roughnecks started by selecting running back Max Borghi out of Washington State. Borghi was a hard runner at Washington State, having two seasons of double-digit touchdowns. Next was tight end Shaun Beyer out of Iowa. Beyer has played tight end, wide receiver, linebacker, safety, and punter and spent time with the Vikings. Next was Damion Willis out of Troy. Willis has bounced around a lot of NFL squads and now gets a shot to earn a starting position. The Vipers went with Jeff Badet out of Oklahoma. No stranger of the XFL after playing for the Dallas Renegades in 2020. He was drafted in the USFL but never played due to injury.

The Guardians selected Dontez Byrd out of Tennessee Tech who’s played in the AAF, TSL, CFL, and the IFL. The Brahmas had another very good selection in Kalen Ballage out of Arizona State. Ballage has played in the NFL and scored seven touchdowns in the NFL. The Battlehawks selected former Wyoming running back Brian Hill. Hill ran for 465 yards in 2020 for the Atlanta Falcons. The Defenders selected Ryquell Armstead. Armstead was supposed to push for playing time on the Jaguars. However, he got covid and it was serious enough to sideline him for the whole year. It’s exciting to see him get another chance.

Winner: This is one of the harder rounds to declare a winner due to multiple excellent selections like Borghi, Ballage, Hill, and Armstead. However, we’ll give the Vipers the nod due to getting such a promising receiver, Jeff Badet.

Round Seven

Round Seven Breakdown

More talent was taken in round seven in our XFL draft day recap of offensive players. The first player in the seventh round was D.C. Defenders Pooka Williams out of Kansas. Williams had two seasons over 1,000 receiving yards and was a kick returner for the Bengals. The Battlehawks took tight end Jordan Thomas. A former sixth-round draft pick, the 6-5 pass-catcher gets a chance to shine in the XFL. The Brahmas also took a tight end in Alize Mack out of Notre Dame. Mack spent some time with the Green Bay Packers. The next taken player was Devin Darrington out of Virginia. Darrington had limited carries at Virginia but averaged a 7.4-yard average per carry.

Next, the Vipers selected receiver Isiah Macklin out of NC Central. Macklin has a smaller resume but will look to make an impact. Davis was supposed to play for the Bandits last year but never joined the team. He’s spent time in the NFL and the CFL. The Renegades took JaCorey Sullivan out of Central Michigan. Sullivan was expected to make an impact in the MLFB for the Alabama Airborne. The last draft pick of the seventh round was Jontre Kirklin out of Louisiana State.
