Former Cleveland Browns players are getting a second shot in the spotlight, thanks to the newly formed United Football League.

The UFL boasts real, traditional, 11-on-11 football in NFL quality stadiums. In it's first season it has four teams, based out of New York, California, Florida, and Las Vegas.

Versus and HDNet have picked up a few of the games, and the league plans on adding more teams next season.

Anybody who follows the Cleveland Browns closely may recognize a few of the names participating in the league. Most notably, Charles Ali spent 2008 with Cleveland, Leon Williams was a fourth round pick in 2006, and Noah Herron who spent the recent preseason here, head up the New York Sentinels, but a few other names may surprise you to see again.

The next Sentinels game will be on Versus, November 12th, at 7:00 p.m.
