Seahawks, Cardinals, Broncos Interested In XFL QB PJ Walker – profootballrumors.com, Profootballrumors.com

The second incarnation of the XFL did not make it a full season due to COVID – , but before that things had been going surprisingly well. Things were much smoother than in the ill-fated AAF, and some players are already starting to reap the benefits.

The Seahawks, Cardinals, and Broncos have all reached out to the Houston Roughnecks to express interest in their quarterback P.J. Walker , a source told Mark Berman of FOX (Twitter link ). XFL players are allowed to sign with the NFL starting Monday morning, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com tweets , and it sounds like Walker could get scooped up pretty quickly.

The Temple product signed with the Colts as an undrafted free agent in 2017, and spent most the next three years on their practice squad. Walker became one of the first stars of Vince McMahon’s upstart league, as he led the Roughnecks to a perfect 5-0 start before the rest of the season was cancelled.

In those five games Walker had 1, 823 yards and touchdowns, leading the league in both categories. Now we see why Indianapolis kept bringing him back each offseason. All three of the interested teams won’t be looking at Walker as anything more than a backup, but he could make for a good reserve option as all three have similarly athletic and mobile starters.
