Just a couple weeks after one UFL team made a splash with a former NFL star, the Omaha Nighthawks are trying to do the same with a little local flavor
UFL’s Omaha Nighthawks Targeting Ahman Green, Eric Crouch
Omaha’s UFL team has reached out to Ahman Green. Most know Green as the former Packers running back but around Omaha, he’s the former Nebraska star.
“It looks promising, but I’m just waiting still, keeping my options open,” Green said Thursday from his home just outside Green Bay, Wis. “For me, it’s not a fallback plan at all. I want to play football. The Omaha team would be a great fit.”
The Nighthawks are trying to stir up some momentum in the media by reaching out to players who hold weight locally, specifically former Nebraska players.
Eric Crouch -- 2001 Heisman trophy winner and Nebraska quarterback -- was also contacted.
“I’d love to play, but I’ve been done for a couple years,” the former Nebraska quarterback said. “I’m pretty happy with not having anymore (surgeries). I’ve had eight operations, you know. But that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t stay involved.”
