Arlington Renegades UFL Super Dispersal Draft Breakdown
The defending XFL champion Arlington Renegades went through the second phase of the Dispersal Draft on Monday. Phase one saw the Renegades protect 42 players on the active roster and add players from the four XFL teams that did not make the merger.
Phase two focused on all remaining players from all teams as each team got to make as many selections as they wanted. Arlington drafted the least number of players in the Super Dispersal Draft with just five selections.
Here is a full breakdown of each of the Arlington Renegades picks in the UFL Dispersal Draft.
2024 Arlington Renegades UFL Super Dispersal Draft Picks
Round Draft - Player Analysis
Round 1 – TE Jared Scott
Tight end Jared Scott got the draft started for the Renegades after spending the 2023 season with the New Orleans Breakers. Scott caught just one pass for 15 yards last season. He also spent time in the NFL with the Carolina Panthers in 2022.
Roster Impact: Arlington went into the draft not having a tight end on the roster, and they added one to fill the need. Expect the team to look in free agency to find any additional tight ends. Scott hasn’t been asked to be a pass catcher often so he could be used more in run blocking.
Round 2 – WR Calvin Jackson
Calvin Jackson will be making his debut in spring football after spending time with the New York Jets in 2022. In his senior season at Washington State in 2021, Jackson finished with 66 receptions for 987 yards and seven touchdowns.
Roster Impact: Jackson could find a spot in the slot for the Renegades as he’s got to speed to get behind any defender. The Renegades need more speed at receiver so Jackson could earn a spot on the roster for that reason alone.
Round 3 – CB Nasir Greer
Arlington is bringing back Nasir Greer to the secondary after he spent time with the team in 2023. Greer did not get to play on the field as he was on the injury reserve list during the year. He also had a brief stint in the NFL with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Roster Impact: Experience with the defense is a plus for Greer. After missing the entirety of last season, he’ll have some stiff competition to get playing time in the secondary.
Round 4 – LB B.J. Bello
Linebacker B.J. Bello played last season in the USFL with the Philadelphia Stars and only recorded three tackles. He recorded 20 total tackles in his NFL career during brief stints with the Cleveland Browns, Philadelphia Eagles, New York Jets, Houston Texans and Los Angeles Chargers.
Roster Impact: The Renegades lost some key linebackers from last season’s team, including Darnell Sankey. Bello brings depth to the position and will compete for a roster spot.
Round 5 – WR Juwan Manigo
Juwan Manigo returns to the Renegades after signing with the team in June. Manigo was a star receiver in the LFA in Mexico where he put up 1,015 receiving yards and nine touchdowns last season.
Roster Impact: Manigo is another receiver for Arlington who has a ton of speed and can be a deep threat. There will be an open competition in training camp at receiver, and Manigo can win a job if he can prove his worth on special teams.
