The UFL needs to have players that are recognizable names at least regionally.

Maybe you convince players like a Tommy DeVito of the Giants and Tyson Bagent from the Bears to play in the UFL for a while and hone their skills instead of pressing them in the NFL before they are ready.

One of the things that made the old USFL watchable in the 80s was that there were some recognizable names. Even the first edition of the XFL 20+ years ago had guys like Tommy Maddox trying to audition to get back in the NFL

Yeah the only way to make it viable is as a minor league to the NFL where guys on futures contracts and stuff can play. A guy like Ty Davis-Price would be a good fit.
