If they didn't, he will get his shot soon enough

I'm not sure he's 100 per cent recovered from the beating he took during his one start for the Panthers in 2018. He wasn't signed by any NFL practice squads in 2019, now he can't start in the XFL. Something seems to holding him back.

I dont think he was eligible for the practice squad

Of course, he hasn't been eligible for a practice squad for several years. Getting hurt in his first NFL start, playing hurt and throwing 3 picks, and then Kyle Allen lighting it up against the Saints' third stringers the following week sealed his fate. He got hurt in every regular season game he played significant minutes. The league presumed he was too small and fragile to be a reliable backup.

According to the team's roster listing on their web site, Heinicke isn't even on the team anymore.

He is right here on the roster:

I see how I missed Heinicke. I opened the link above, read the article, then clicked on the QB link not realizing that it changed to a different team from Los Angeles. Thanks for clearing that up.

Did the same

Ray Lawry is on XFL "Team 9." One of two RBs who will be ready to take the spot of any RB who gets injured in XFL play.

Tim Ward didn't play a down this year.... but I think he is ODUs second Superbowl winner.

That's an excellent point. That might very well be true.

He was on Physically Unable to Perform list all year. I suppose he was technically on the roster but he was not even on the sidelines for the game. I suppose you could say he is a Super Bowl winner with a large asterisk.

Does he get a ring? Is there a winners share?
If so congrats to him!!

Actually I think he is ODUs 3rd Super Bowl winner. Mayo - Pats, KickingLife - Iggles, Ward - KC

Was Mayo on the Pats along with his brother? I thought Rick was our first winner?

You’re correct. Our Mayo never made an NFL roster.

Deron Mayo works for the Pats as the assistant strength and conditioning coach. He held the same position when they won in 2019. He got a ring.

Bunmi Rotimi is starting at DE for the New York Guardians in the XFL. He is playing first game on Sunday. Heinicke is the 2nd string QB for St. Louis.

Looks like the DC Defenders have more fans than a redskins game. Kick off’s are intriguing.
