LBC mike Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 I am watching some Arena Football right now and I am curious how many of these guys have a shot at the NFL. The only player that I aware of us Kurt Warner that transitioned over eventually. Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Buffalo Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Usually the Arena players do not transition well into the NFL. The game is too different. You typically see the top rookies and top performers get signed to NFL teams each season, and then they all get cut by the end of the preseason. Also I thought Kurt Warner played in Europe.

Agrees....It's mostly a haven for outcast NFL and CFL players..not the other way around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utzie Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 I think the game is just too different. It's like playing backyard football, essentially. Extremely condensed field, and you can be full speed sprinting forward when the ball is hiked. It's fun to watch because it's generally pretty high scoring, but it's just not there. I'd rather bring someone over from the CFL who is used to playing on a full sized field than to grab an Arena leaguer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 I saw on highlights over the weekend where Troy Smith and Chad Johnson (Ochocinco) teamed up for a TD for the Montreal Alouettes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure he played for the Iowa Barnstormers. AFL/USFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
