The St. Louis BattleHawks are finally starting to look like a team.
The BattleHawks, one of eight original franchises in the second iteration of the XFL, had only a name, logo, home field, head coach and front office staff before Tuesday. But thanks to the first XFL draft, which began Tuesday, they now have players, too.
Their first player actually was assigned rather than drafted. The league office allocated one quarterback to each franchise before the draft. St. Louis’ is Jordan Ta’amu, who went undrafted by the NFL after passing for 3,918 yards at Ole Miss last season.
