RJ YOUNG'S TAKE
Todd Haley’s Memphis Showboats showed fits-and-starts last year as a franchise that couldn’t quite capitalize on its talent. However, perhaps the change of scenery, being the host city for one of the four hubs for the USFL this season, will give them an edge they need.
His core group of veterans includes former Memphis quarterback White, former LSU wide receiver Dillon, wideout Davis, offensive lineman Burrell and linebacker Reaves.
