Maurice Jones-Drew to the FXFL?'
NO… Says FXFL Commissioner Brian Woods.
Woods explained that this will not model after the UFL, and it will focus on working with young players, and not guys whose shelf life has expired in the NFL.
“I got a call a couple of weeks ago from Maurice Jones-Drew. He wanted to play in this league. I told him you can probably do very well in this league, but I think your career as an NFL running back is probably over at this point.”
When asked why the Commissioner wouldn’t be interested in the addition of a high profile player like Jones-Drew to the FXFL, the Commissioner responded by reiterating that the FXFL is a developmental league, and not a “commercial league under the guise of a developmental league.”
The hope is for the NFL to partner with the FXFL down the road and make it THE developmental league.
