TOP PLAYERS
RJ YOUNG'S TAKE
In his first season as coach of the Philadelphia Stars, Andrus lost his first overall pick midway through the year to injury but rallied with his second-string quarterback to guide the Stars to the USFL Championship Game.
In Year 2, he’s returning a handful of players that helped pick up the franchise at the midpoint in the season and carry it into the playoffs including former Michigan cornerback Stribling, running back Coburn, wide receiver Suell and former TCU tight end Wells.
Given Andrus’ penchant for airing the ball out and unconventional playcalling — he was the first to attempt and convert a three-point play following a touchdown — the Stars will be one of the most fun and competitive teams in the league.
