So many dreams are coming true after this year’s edition of the XFL, and it’s pretty cool to see.

Led by the ownership group of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Dany Garcia and RedBird Capital Partners, the XFL’s 2023 season came to an end May 13. As a result, there’s a window of opportunity for XFL players to get signed by NFL teams, with players now allowed to ink contracts starting on Monday.

Even though there are some differences between each league, multiple players from the XFL’s 2020 season managed to stick around with the big boys in the National Football League, including Atlanta Falcons quarterback Taylor Heinicke, Chicago Bears quarterback PJ Walker and Pittsburgh Steelers long snapper Christian Kuntz.

This year, a lot of top players in the XFL have been drawing interest from NFL teams and have received invitations to camps to repeat their feats, with notable players being the XFL’s leading wide receivers Hakeem Butler and Jachour Pearson and top pass-rusher Trent Harris.
