Minor Football League Looking For Players
Washington, D.C. -- Teams of the Minor Football League have completed their first four games of the league’s regular season schedule and players for many teams have suffered injuries that have caused them to be sidelined. As a result, the league is seeking players to replace them.
The League includes seven teams: the Washington Chiefs, the Metro Nemesis, the Virginia Warriors, the Fredericksburg Falcons, the Severn Chargers, the DC Falcons, the Philadelphia Panthers and the New England Blitzen Bears. The regular season schedule runs to the end of September.
The league is seeking former college and NFL players to participate. With that in mind, universities and pro teams that are located in the region where the MFL plays its games (the Northeast to middle Atlantic) have been contacted and asked to refer alumni who wish to continue with their football careers and players who are cut during the training camps of NFL teams to the MFL. This includes the University of Maryland, University of Virginia, James Madison University, Towson State University, Pennsylvania State University and more as well as the Washington Redskins, the Philadelphia Eagles, the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Baltimore Ravens and the New England Patriots.
