Louisville Kings’s Lucky Jackson throws the ball against Orlando Storm’s Mishael Powell at Lynn Family Stadium. April 10, 2026 | Scott Utterback/Courier Journal / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images John Spytek talked about the UFL when asked before the draft, and the Las Vegas Raiders haven’t signed a UFL player in nearly 2-3 seasons. UFL players have shown an ability to bounce back to the NFL level, especially on special teams with Jake Bates, Brandon Aubrey, and Kevontae Turpin.

Other including Vikings DT Jalen Redmond, who logged 51 pressures & 5 sacks last season, Falcons LB Ronnie Perkins, Patriots T Yasir Durant, and Broncos LB Dondrea Tillman. The Raiders are going to consistently churn their roster, looking for the best possible players that can make an impact, as GM John Spytek has mentioned on numerous occasions. The UFL season lasts till June 13th, and players are eligible to sign at any time, though most sign at the beginning of June till training camp.

He has fumbled twice, but Yarns is an athlete and it shows with the chances at the UFL level. He has a 4.

45 40, electric long speed, and shows subtle short area quickness. Las Vegas could look to add Yarns to depth for their runningback core. MARCUS YARNS TAKES IT 68-YARDS TO THE HOUSE 😤🔥 pic.
