Jarvis Landry Jersey , but some of their players still did.The failed developmental league has placed 17 alumni onto NFL rosters at the moment.As compiled by NFLDraftDiamonds.com, that includes eight players who are still on active rosters.The list includes a pair of Browns (Orlando Apollos quarterback Garrett Gilbert and running back D'Ernest Johnson) and a pair of Broncos (Salt Lake Stallions defensive tackle Mike Purcell and San Antonio Commanders defensive back Davante Bausby).Also making 53-man rosters at the moment are Chargers long snapper Cole Mazza (Birmingham Iron), 49ers offensive lineman Daniel Brunskill (San Diego Fleet), Panthers offensive lineman Brandon Greene (Iron), and Steelers defensive back Kameron Kelly (Fleet).Nine other players from the AAF are on practice squads, though those jobs are a lot more temporary sometimes: Panthers defensive tackle Bijhon Jackson (Atlanta Legends), Panthers linebacker Sione Teuhema (Arizona Hotshots), Rams quarterback John Wolford (Hotshots), Rams offensive lineman Jeremiah Kolone (Fleet), Titans quarterback Logan Woodside (Commanders) Genard Avery Color Rush Jersey , Eagles wide receiver Greg Ward (Commanders), Ravens linebacker Aaron Adeoye (Iron) and Washington linebacker Chris Odom (Stallions).While not a huge number of players, it does speak to the general opportunity created by another league, a niche that the XFL is going to try to fill next year. CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns‘ coaching search isn't quite ready to cross gender or diplomatic lines.General manager John Dorsey, who opened the possibility of hiring a woman to be Cleveland's next coach, said Sunday that the team has not discussed former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as a candidate to become the club's ninth coach since 1999.ESPN, citing an anonymous league source, reported that the team would like to interview Rice, an ardent Browns fan since childhood, for its coaching job. However https://www.brownsfanshop.com/Austin-Corbett-Jersey , Dorsey said she is not on the team's current list of candidates."Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is a great leader, possesses the highest possible character and also happens to be a Browns fan," Dorsey said."I have the utmost respect and admiration for all she's accomplished and was honored to meet her for the first time earlier this season. Our coaching search will be thorough and deliberate, but we are still in the process of composing the list of candidates and Secretary Rice has not been discussed."Earlier this week, Dorsey said he would consider a wide-range of candidates."I just want the best possible head coach to move this thing forward regardless of age," he said. "It could be a woman, too. I am serious. Who knows?"The 64-year-old Rice would be an historic and outside-the-box candidate for the Browns, who fired Hue Jackson last month after he won just three games in two-plus seasons and went 0-16 in 2017.There has never been a woman interviewed for a head coaching job in the NFL.On her Facebook page, Rice professed her deep love for the Browns and said confidently, "I know they will hire an experienced coach to take us to the next level.""On a more serious note Nick Chubb Jersey , I do hope that the NFL will start to bring women into the coaching profession as position coaches and eventually coordinators and head coaches," she wrote. "One doesn't have to play the game to understand it and motivate players. But experience counts — and it is time to develop a pool of experienced women coaches."BTW — I'm not ready to coach but I would like to call a play or two next season if the Browns need ideas! And at no time will I call for a "prevent defense."Rice's last reference is common among die-hard Browns fans, who still bemoan then-coach Marty Schottenheimer's decision to play soft coverage in the 1986 AFC championship game when Denver quarterback John Elway drove the Broncos 98 yards to a game-tying touchdown in the final seconds. "The Drive" as it's known helped the Broncos beat the Browns 23-20 in overtime, denying Cleveland a trip to the Super Bowl.Rice discussed her love for the team during a visit to the Browns' headquarters in 2010. Her passion for the Browns dates to her early years in Alabama, where she and her father watched games together and cheered for Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown on teams coached by Paul Brown.Rice has become increasingly involved in sports, serving on the College Football Playoff selection committee and chairing a commission on college basketball.She served as secretary of state under President George W. Bush from 2005-09.Dorsey said interim coach Gregg Williams will be interviewed for the full-time position following the season.The Browns have a bye this week and will face Cincinnati next Sunday, when they'll have a reunion sorts with Jackson, who was hired by the Bengals as a special assistant to coach Marvin Lewis.
