UFL players have begun to garner interest as the league enters the first round of the playoffs this weekend. While the league has plenty of talent on the rosters of playoff teams, many players on eliminated teams have begun to workout for teams in hopes of extending their football career or kickstarting their football careers. Last year the UFL saw over 60 players earn NFL contracts, with 75 earning contracts in 2024. UFL players are eligible to sign with NFL teams once the 2026 UFL championship is complete.
So far 13 UFL players have earned 15 workouts since the completion of the regular season.
