The NFL is no longer the only league on the block.
With the recent announcements of the XFL and Alliance of American Football, the Spring League is almost getting lost in the mix as football fans aren't used to such a variety. But the league that starts up April 7 will get a boost this season by adding former Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel to the four-team organization.
The league announced its full rosters on Tuesday and there are more than a few former NFL players hoping to make a comeback.
🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨#TheSpringLeague2018 rosters are here! The League will be comprised of four teams split up by location of a player's school.
