The Super Bowl has ended, which means football is over until next season.
At least, it did until this year.
This year the Alliance of American Football began its inaugural season on February 10 — one week after the conclusion of the NFL season. The new league features eight teams: The Arizona Hotshots, Atlanta Legends, Birmingham Iron, Memphis Express, Orlando Apollos, Salt Lake Stallions, San Antonio Commanders and San Diego Fleet.
With the new league, five former Auburn players will be represented this season on the Iron. Some already made an impact Week 1, the most notable being Ryan White's fourth-down stop to keep Birmingham's shutout alive.
