Former Calvary Quarterback Is Top Overall Pick In USFL Draft (News Radio 710 KEEL)

The Michigan Panthers took him with the first overall pick in the new USFL's first draft.

After his college career, Patterson went undrafted in the NFL, and tried to catch on with a couple teams, but never made a roster. In his two seasons at Calvary, Patterson threw for 5,083 yards and 72 touchdowns. He also rushed for 476 yards in his career, with 8 more touchdowns. Those Michigan Panthers just had the first overall pick in the new USFL's first ever draft. The league is set to launch this spring, and will have some interesting measures in place. But this version of the United States Football League isn't really connected to the first one in anyway.

The Texas A&M football team had three former players taken in the USFL Draft. Here's who selected them and when they were selected.

The first Aggie selected in this draft was Avery Gennesy, a player who took the JUCO route before joining the Texas A&M football team in 2014. In those three years, Williams rushed for 1,343 yards and 18 touchdowns in that stretch before going undrafted in the 2015 NFL Draft. With the Tampa Bay Bandits, Mack will have an opportunity to be one of the best players on the field. Daylon Mack was a four-year defensive tackle for the Aggies who didn’t get an opportunity to start until his senior season. To give you a better idea of how this draft worked, here’s what the positional picks looked like on Day 1. But thankfully for a few Aggies, a new opportunity has opened up that could give them another shot at reaching their football dreams.
