We have a pro football team?

I guess I wasn’t paying attention when this happened (from NBC Sports):

Chris Redman is the latest former player to be named a head coach in the United Football League.

The UFL announced today that Redman will be the head coach of the Louisville Kings.

Redman is a legendary figure in Louisville football. He was born and raised in Louisville and led Louisville Male High School to a Kentucky state championship in 1993, with his father Bob Redman as his head coach. He then played his college football at Louisville before the Ravens drafted him in the third round in 2000.

Redman played pro football in some form from 2000 to 2012. Interesting fact here: He was a third-round pick for the Ravens, and he was one of six quarterbacks drafted ahead of Tom Brady (the greatest quarterback of all time).

Here’s a video on those six picks:

Interesting about how this all worked out, isn’t it?
