The XFL kicked off this past weekend and several players with Colorado ties shined. Here’s a look:
Rahim Moore, S, DC Defenders
The former Broncos second-round pick recorded the first interception of the season, picking off Seattle Dragons quarterback Brandon Silvers in the second quarter on Saturday. He also had three tackles in the 31-19 win.
Nick Truesdell, TE, Tampa Bay Vipers
Truesdell, who briefly played with the Colorado Ice, recorded three catches for 49 yards in Tampa Bay’s 23-3 loss to the New York Guardians.
Mekale McKay, WR, New York Guardians
The former Broncos receiver led the guardians with three catches and 58 yards against Tampa Bay.
Steven Johnson, LB, Seattle Dragons
The former Broncos linebacker led the Dragons with eight tackles, including two for losses, in the Dragons’ losing effort.
Nelson Spruce, WR, Los Angeles Wildcats
The former Colorado Buffaloes star made history Saturday when he became the first player to record 100 yards receiving in league history. Spruce finished with 11 catches for 103 yards in a 37-17 loss against the Houston Roughnecks.
