<![CDATA[Arena football players]]>I am watching some Arena Football right now and I am curious how many of these guys have a shot at the NFL. The only player that I aware of us Kurt Warner that transitioned over eventually. Anyone else?

Pretty sure he played for the Iowa Barnstormers. AFL/USFL

It's like playing backyard football, essentially. Extremely condensed field, and you can be full speed sprinting forward when the ball is hiked.

It's fun to watch because it's generally pretty high scoring, but it's just not there. I'd rather bring someone over from the CFL who is used to playing on a full sized field than to grab an Arena leaguer.

Agrees....It's mostly a haven for outcast NFL and CFL players..not the other way around
