FXFL Players Called Up To NFL

by FXFLnews
Harry Cicma interviews Jordan Dangerfield during his last game with Brooklyn.

This week, a few FXFL players have gotten called up to the NFL.

Brooklyn Bolts Safety Jordan Dangerfield was signed to the Pittsburgh Steelers practice squad, earlier this week.


The signing of Dangerfield is directly linked to the Steelers' current situation at Safety. Troy Polamalu is out for the immediate future with a sprained knee, veteran Will Allen is filling in, but there is a lack of depth behind him. 

Dangerfield spent the preseason with the Steelers, and was a surprise cut before the regular season.

Dangerfield earned Nivea Men Play of The Game honors in his last game with Brooklyn, after forcing a fumble late in the game.

Omaha Mammoths have lost their second player to the NFL, as Wide Receiver Eric Thomas has signed to the Indianapolis Colts' practice squad on Tuesday. Thomas had been with Indianapolis during the preseason as an undrafted free agent from Troy University.

In his last two games with Omaha, Thomas had 4 catches for 101 yards, and a Touchdown. Thomas had worked out with another NFL team previously.

Also this week, Omaha linebacker JoJo Dickson was working out for Kansas City and defensive lineman Lanier Coleman was working out with Washington. Leaving the Mammoths with the possibility of being short-handed once again.
