Not every one of the league's stars will ultimately get a chance to prove themselves in NFL camps, but many Davante Adams Jersey have been invited to rookie minicamps, tryouts and other visits with teams acro s the NFL.And thus far, a handful of players have agreed to make the jump from the XFL to the NFL. The most notable among them is Ben DiNucci, who has arguably the most upside of any XFL quarterback prospect.It's too early to say whether any of these players will make the final rosters or practice squads. Even so, XFL fans will be excited to see how their favorite players fare as they battle for NFL jobs during OTAs, training camp and eventually, the preseason.Below is a run down of the XFL players that have signed NFL contracts in the days since the XFL's 2023 season officially came to a close.MORE:Ben DiNucci, BroncosPosition: QuarterbackXFL team: Seattle Sea DragonsDiNucci was arguably the best quarterback in the XFL during the 2023 season, throwing for a league-high 2,671 yards, 20 touchdowns and 13 interceptions while leading the Sea Dragons to the playoffs and a 7-3 record. He was originally a seventh-round pick of the Cowboys in 2020 and made one start for the team in a lo s before being waived in 2022.Now, DiNucci will battle former Tenne see quarterback Jarrett Guarantano for the third-string quarterback job behind Ru sell Wilson and Jarrett Stidham with Sean Payton's Broncos.John Parker Romo, LionsPosition: KickerXFL team: San Antonio BrahmasRomo led the XFL in field goals made playing for the Brahmas, converting on 17 of 19 attempts and making a league-best 57-yard kick for San Antonio. The former Virginia Tech kicker will now battle Michael Badgley for the kicking job with the Lions in his first NFL opportunity.And before you ask, no. He .Jacques Patrick, BroncosPosition: Running backXFL team: San Antonio BrahmasPatrick was the XFL's second-leading rusher in 2023, totaling 443 yards and five touchdowns on 115 carries in the ground-dominant Brahmas offense. At 6-2, 236 pounds, he profiles as a potential short-yardage power back for the Broncos but will have to do battle with eight other running backs and full backs as he looks to earn a roster spot in Denver.Patrick previously had stints with the Bengals, 49ers, Ravens, Panthers and Bengals again from 2020 to 2022 after succeeding with the XFL's Tampa Bay Vipers in 2020. The 26-year-old will Dennis Kelly Jersey look to stick during his last NFL chance.MORE: Bryce Thompson, DolphinsPosition: SafetyXFL team: Seattle Sea DragonsThompson was a playmaker for Seattle's solid stop unit and generated 34 tackles, four TFL and two interceptions as an active safety on defense. That was enough to earn him a chance to compete for a spot in the Dolphins' secondary under Vic Fangio.Thompson went undrafted out of Boise State in 2021 but latched on with the Saints as an undrafted free agent. He has two tackles over 78 snaps in eight career NFL games. All of his action came on special teams, so that may be his best chance to earn a spot in Miami.Luq Barcoo, SteelersPosition: CornerbackXFL team: San Antonio BrahmasLike Thompson, Barcoo was productive in his first XFL season. The Brahmas cornerback generated 31 tackles and an interception before signing with the Steelers after a tryout.Barcoo went undrafted out of San Diego State in 2020 but ended up with the Jaguars. He played in three games with one start and generated 10 tackles and a pa s defense in limited action. He also spent time with Cardinals, 49ers, Chiefs and Jets before giving it a go in the XFL.Lukas Denis, FalconsPosition: SafetyXFL team: St. Louis BattlehawksDenis had a strong college career at Boston College but only played for the Buccaneers T.J. Slaton Jersey briefly in 2022 before landing with the XFL's Battlehawks. He responded by recording 37 tackles and two interceptions for St. Louis' defense.Now, Denis will look to carve out a role with the Falcons. Atlanta has added four safeties to its roster including Denis and Je sie Bates so Denis might be able to lock down a roster spot if Ryan Nielsen wants to change things up on the back end of his defense.Jack Heflin, SaintsPosition: Defensive lineXFL team: Houston RoughnecksHeflin has landed back in the NFL after spending parts of the 2021 and 2022 seasons with the Packers and Giants. He has one tackle in five career games and is now joining the Saints, who lost several defensive linemen during the offseason.While with the Roughnecks, Heflin recorded 25 tackles, three TFL and one sack. That was good enough to land him on the All-XFL defensive team for 2023.Niko Lalos, SaintsPosition: LinebackerXFL team: Seattle Sea DragonsHeflin wasn't the only defensive player the Saints targeted from the XFL. They also signed Lalos, who recorded 35 tackles, seven TFL and 1.5 sacks with the Sea Dragons.Like Heflin, Lalos has a bit of NFL experience, as he played six games for the Giants in 2020, recording six tackles, an interception and a fumble recovery. This is his second stint with the Saints after he spent two weeks with them ahead of the 2022 season.Austin Faoliu, SeahawksPosition: Defensive linemanXFL team: Seattle Sea DragonsFaoliu will remain in Seattle while making the jump from the XFL to the NFL. The Oregon product was named to the All-XFL defensive team after recording 24 tackles, two TFL and one sack and will look to crack what is a fairly unsettled Seahawks defensive tackle rotation.Before joining the XFL, Faoliu spent two seasons with the Cowboys after going undrafted in 2021. He only appeared in one game for the team and recorded two tackles. He spent most Gerhard De Beer Jersey of his time in Dallas on the practice squad.C.J. Brewer, BuccaneersPosition: Defensive lineXFL team: Houston RoughnecksThe Buccaneers added Greg Gaines and Calijah Kancey to their defensive line during the 2023 offseason, but Brewer will be competing for a job with the team as well. The Coastal Carolina product went undrafted in 2022 but spent time with the Bills, Ray Wilborn Jersey recording two tackles in two games with the team.Brewer (6-2, 290 pounds) logged 17 tackles, two TFL and 2.5 sacks while playing for the Roughnecks in 2023.Antwuan Jackson, PanthersPosition: Defensive lineXFL team: Seattle Sea DragonsJackson went undrafted in 2022 after enjoying a solid career at Ohio State. He wasn't able to gain traction in the NFL, so he went to the XFL to play for the Sea Dragons. He recorded 20 tackles and one TFL as part of Seattle's defensive line rotation and that was enough for him to get a chance with the Panthers.Carolina signed a couple of defensive linemen Shy Tuttle and Deshawn Williams in free agency during the offseason. Jackson will compete for a depth role for the team, and perhaps take on a larger one if Tuttle or Williams fails to live up to expectations.LaCale London, FalconsPosition: Defensive linemanXFL team: St. Louis BattlehawksLondon was one of the most productive players in the XFL, recording 33 tackles, five TFL and three sacks during his time with the Battlehawks and parlaying that into an opportunity with the Falcons. He previously spent parts of three seasons with the Bears from 2020 to 2022, dre sing in just one game.London joins an influx of new defensive linemen joining the Falcons and is one of three players th
