XFL Draft: Most interesting players in the XFL draft pool
Devante Kincade, QB, Grambling State
Devante Kincade had an extremely productive career at Grambling State as a dual-threat quarterback. However, he simply did not have the arm talent to make much of a run at an NFL career.
Kincade is an incredibly elusive runner who is going to give XFL defenses fits. He is an extremely fast and explosive player who is a legitimate playmaker with the ball in his hands. His overall passing ability is limited, but as an overall XFL quarterback, Kincade is going to be a joy to watch.
Trevor Knight, QB, Texas A&M
Trevor Knight is an interesting quarterback prospect who had some college success at both Oklahoma and Texas A&M. He is a tough quarterback who has a strong throwing arm, but not been able to get much of an opportunity at the next level.
This could be a great opportunity for Knight to get some consistent playing time and prove himself as a legitimate professional quarterback.
Arie Kouandjio, OL, Alabama
Arie Kouandjio was a two-year starter at Alabama at offensive guard and a second-team All-American in 2014. He was a fourth-round pick by the Washington Redskins in the 2015 NFL Draft but has never been able to stick in the NFL.
Cyrus Kouandjio, OT, Alabama
The younger brother of Arie who also went to Alabama. Cyrus Kouandjio came in as a big-time recruit and played a lot as a true freshman. He started at left tackle his final two seasons at Alabama and left early for the 2014 NFL Draft. Kouandjio was a second-round selection by the Buffalo Bills in the 2014 NFL Draft.
Taku Lee, RB, Japan
I do not know much about Taku Lee other than he is a running back from Japan and his highlight tape looks pretty impressive. Lee appears to have a bit of elusiveness and contact balance. I am curious to see if he can make an impact in the XFL. He could certainly be an interesting player to keep an eye on.
Tre McBride, WR, William & Mary
Tre McBride is a former NFL Draft favorite who was never able to stick in the league. When he was drafted in 2015, McBride was a guy who had a nice combination of speed and athleticism on the outside. Does he still have that big-play upside in the XFL?
Max McCaffrey, WR, Duke
Max McCaffrey is the brother of Carolina Panthers star running back Christian McCaffrey and the son of Denver Broncos legend Ed McCaffrey. He is a smooth receiver who may be able to make an impact in the XFL. He is not his brother or his dad, but McCaffrey is certainly good enough to compete in this situation.
