The U.S. Football League completed its draft of players Tuesday and now must turn its attention to signing them for the upcoming season.
The Oakland Invaders started the first of 84 picks in the open draft by picking Asuza-Pacific running back Christian Okoye. Over the weekend, the twelve USFL teams held their territorial draft and secured the rights to 16 players each.
After the Invaders took Okoye, the Arizona Outlaws selected Texas A&M hybrid back Rod Bernstine, who can play a variety of positions out of the backside.
The Outlaws have been aggressive in years’ past with regard to signing free agents and draft picks and have said that an offer to Bernstine will be forthcoming.
Defending league champion Houston completed the first round by selecting Oklahoma defensive end Steve Bryan. For a complete list of the draft go here.
