It looks like the UFL might have staying power, after all.

In a move that could set the precedent for the future of the league, the UFL announced today that 11 of its players have signed with NFL teams. Seven more, including Championship game MVP DeDe Dorsey, were invited to tryouts around the league.

“Less than a week after the conclusion of our "Premiere" season, NFL clubs have shown interest in almost 20 UFL players,” said Commissioner Michael Huyghue. “These signings further illustrate the overall quality of play in the UFL and the talent of these players, who if given the opportunity, can compete in the NFL. We wish our players the best of luck with their new teams in the NFL.”

The most notable name to be inked is California Redwoods QB Shane Boyd, who was signed to the Colts' practice squad. Another recognizable name with NFL experience making the jump is K Matt Bryant of the Tuskers, who agreed to terms with the Falcons and is expected to take over the kicking duties in place of the recently released Jason Elam.

Others who will be playing for NFL squads include Tuskers DB Michael Grant (Browns, practice squad), Tuskers LB Quinton Culberson (Panthers, active roster), Locos TE Jake Nordin (Lions, practice squad), Redwoods preseason QB Tyler Palko (Steelers, active roster), Sentinels FB Charles Ali (Ravens, active roster), Sentinels preseason OL Christian Gaddis (Bills, active roster), Sentinels DB Paul Pratt (Lions, practice squad), Sentinels OL Jason Watkins (Bills, practice squad) and Sentinels preseason OL Christian Gaddis (Bills, practice squad).
