In October, the XFL released a lengthy list of over 1,000 players who were in the draft pool that the teams chose from when they made their selections on October 15th.
The biggest names drafted were former NFL quarterbacks Connor Cook and Joe Callahan, former NFL running backs Christine Michel and David Cobb, and former NFL kicker Roberto Aguayo.
Prior to the draft, one quarterback was allotted to each team and they included names like former NFL players Landry Jones, Cardale Jones, Matt McGloin, and Aaron Murray.
On Friday, the XFL revealed the signing of additional players, including three more quarterbacks, plus lists of the biggest names now under contract at every position except offensive lineman.
Josh Johnson now joins Luis Perez on the Los Angeles Wildcats, Chase Litton will be competing with Brandon Silvers on the Seattle Dragons, and Taylor Heinicke was added to the St. Louis Battlehawks who previously signed QB Jordan Ta’amu.

Notably, and inexplicably, still missing from an XFL roster: Johnny Manziel.
