The United States Football League, or the USFL as it was so commonly known, is going to try and make a triumphant return. The USFL hasn't been in existence in 35 years, making it a mystery to most NFL fans in 2021.This news comes as failed attempts at the XFL were diminished as the league started up right before the COVID-19 pandemic hit and the AAF failed to make a full season run in 2019. As of now, the USFL is expected to make its return to action in 2022.USFL@USFL8 teams. 12 weeks.

At the time, college football players weren't allowed to turn professional until after their senior season, so Walker left after his junior season and played in the USFL, where that was allowed.Walker earned the rushing title in the 1983 and 1985 USFL seasons. He was then drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the 1985 NFL Draft after the USFL folded.This newly configured USFL will most likely be used as a developmental league for players who wish to play in the National Football League in the future. This was how the XFL was used for its short lived tenure.
