The List Of Former Packers Playing In The UFL

by Brandon on Sep 12, 2011 3:50 PM CDT in Green Bay Packers News

Here's the list of former Green Bay Packers who made the cut in the UFL. A lot of familiar names to me, but a couple of high draft picks led by former 1st round bust CB Ahmad Carroll, and 3rd round failure S Aaron Rouse. And one guy I really liked who never came anywhere close to expectations. From the Journal-Sentinel:

Quarterback Brian Brohm, the Packers' second-round pick in 2008, is listed as the backup behind Chase Clement for the Las Vegas Locomotives. Clement was MVP of the UFL Championship Game in 2010.

He can't even find a starting job in the UFL. Not that he deserves one.

I actually remembered all these guys. I don't actually remember them playing, but I remember their names on the roster. One guy I'm glad to see is still trying is T Orrin Thompson, who is the brother of former LB Jeremy Thompson. Jeremy had his career cut short by a neck injury after GM Ted Thompson traded up for him in the 2008 draft. Orrin was an undrafted player.

Mr Rouse....swing and a miss

So we go into the 2009 season with injured Nintendo Bigby and Rouse, meanwhile Anthony Smith is PR nightmare and cut because is a “me first” diva (if a 4th string safety can be) but produced in the preseason. Low and behold TT has to swing a trade for Derrick Martin and hes on the team for 8 hours before being absolutely toasted by Brent Faver. What could have been had TT kept Smith over Rouse considering it took Rouse 5 minutes of failing at starting before he was cut in week 3?? Rouse was big and fast but i think he is pretty….how to put it??? DUMB!

It was a mistake

And TT trading for him last year was his way of admitting it was a mistake. Nobody is perfect, and our team would’ve been better had we kept him, but TT showed that he’s not perfect by any means. It was disappointing at the time, but I think TT clearly redeemed himself with the talent he continued to find…

One game at a time...

Im not bashing

TT is tops. I was hoping Rouse could be the answer too. I think TT got a little too confident in the potential of his 3rd round pick. Glad Burnett is working out now. I wonder if Jamal Reynolds is getting a look in the UFL. David Clowney’s got speed!!

I think Robert Frguson was on the Nighthawks for a while last year.

I got to see him play in person. Lucky me.

Only four teams?

Wonder if there is room for expansion. I don’t know much at all about this league other than it exists. Seems better than the XFLol.

here's an idea...

maybe they can expand into Minnesota after the Vikings go to LA

Or just take over for MN now

The Brohm led offense has got to be able to throw up more than 39 yards passing!!

There were 5, but there wasn't enough money and Hartford collapsed.

Good lord, my ears are bleeding after listening to Fergie sing the Anthem

You’d think the NFL would have banned her from having any involvement in their games, after that aural abortion that was the Super Bowl half-time show.

Angelo: Right….so anyways Jay, I’m sure you understand that we needed to make this move and I wanna wish you the best of luck.

Cutler: (Swoops bangs out of eyes by throwing his head back) Whatever, I don’t need this team or you.

No open thread for tonight's games?

I don’t wanna wade into the madness that is a PP Game Thread. If there’s any other interest, I’ll make a thread.

YOU CAN'T REMEMBER AHMAD CARROLL PLAYING?

He made the highlight reel every single week. I don’t know if the term “posterized” is applicable in the NFL, but Ahmad Carroll was the equivalent of the European guy that Vince Carter dunked on.

The term “1st round bust” implies obscurity due to a lack of productivity. Carroll achieved infamy for the facilitation of his opponent’s productivity.

He was a 1st round LIABILITY
