3 Big Names To Watch From Every XFL Team
6. Los Angeles Wildcats
Head Coach: Winston Moss
The Wildcats will be his first head coaching gig. Moss has been an assistant for the Green Bay Packers, New Orleans Saints, and Seattle Seahawks. He also had an eleven year career as a linebacker in the NFL. You might also recognize the name of his Defensive Coordinator: former All-Pro linebacker, Pepper Johnson.
Quarterback: Josh Johnson
Johnson has been a quarterback for nearly half of the NFL, no really- he's been on 13 NFL rosters over a nine year career! After a solid college career at San Diego State University, he was drafted in the fifth round by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He got more name recognition in 2018, when he returned to the NFL after being named the #1 draft pick in the AAF QB draft. He filled in as an injury replacement for the Washington Redskins, then failed to make the Detroit Lions roster last season.
Kicker: Nick Novak
Novak started his career in 2005 with the Washington Redskins. No stranger to alternate pro-football leagues, he's been with the Cologne Centurians (NFL Europe), Florida Tuskers (UFL), and Birmingham Iron (AAF). Although he's spent time with the Chiefs, Texans, and Jets, he's mostly known for his (3x) stint with the San Diego/Los Angeles Chargers. He is currently sixth on their all-time scoring list and is a member of their 2010's "All-Decade Team".
