Who is the quarterback for the Pittsburgh Maulers?

Richmond quarterback Kyle Lauletta

The Pittsburgh Maulers used their first-round draft pick on quarterback Kyle Lauletta. He was a standout in college football with the Richmond Spiders before spending time in the NFL with six different teams. Lauletta will get the start in game one of the Maulers season, but he will share the snaps with Josh Love after failing to win the job outright in training camp.

Josh Love had an excellent college football career at San Jose State before spending time with three different NFL teams. He and Lauletta will both get an opportunity in Week 1 of the 2022 USFL season against the Bandits to win the starting quarterback job moving forward.
