Ben DiNucci is a huge advocate of spring football leagues, but the New Orleans Saints quarterback believes there are some issues that the United Football League needs to address if it wants to survive. One of them is the schedule.
DiNucci was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in 2020. He lasted two seasons with the team before being waived, but the former James Madison star took advantage of an XFL opportunity in 2023, when he led the league in passing.
The XFL has since merged with the USFL to create the UFL, which is in its second season of play. On Sunday, DiNucci criticized the UFL over the timing of its season, which he feels is not conducive to players receiving a fair shot in the NFL.
“Timing of the season makes no sense. Zero chance for guys to be in NFL locker room for OTAs. Isn’t that what UFL wants? … Best part of the XFL was timing. I had chance to go right to minicamp the weekend after season ended. Ultimately lead to me being signed and continuing NFL career,” DiNucci wrote on X.
