Former NFL stars Michael Vick and Terrell Owens were dominant at various times during their pro careers — and now they are back on the gridiron for our viewing pleasure.
Miss seeing Vick scurry away from defenders and Owens haul in long touchdown passes? You're in luck and the American Flag Football League has you covered.

Highlighted by Team Owens and Team Vick, the AFFL is a brand-new league launched by former hedge fund manager Jeff Lewis and is set for an 8-team kickoff in 2018. On Tuesday night though, Vick, Owens and a slew of other noteworthy former NFL players took the field in a "practice run," and it was actually pretty entertaining.

Other notable names participating in the AFFL are former Bengals' WR Chad Ochocinco, former Ravens' RB Justin Forsett and former Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen — who hopped around the NFL after getting drafted by the Carolina Panthers.

With all of the negative publicity surrounding concussions and football — this is an absolutely brilliant idea. Fans care about seeing former NFL stars in action and there's a good chance this will actually be successful. I'm excited to see it get going.
