“Don’t call it a comeback.” Well, alright, I guess you could technically call it a comeback, as the XFL has found new life for a whopping third time. This iteration of the once-popular league will be helmed by new owner Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who will look to take over the spring league market from the USFL.

Here is a live look at the 2022 XFL Draft results as we head into Day 1.
