NFL Europe NFL Europe is descended from the World League of American Football, which included several teams in North America and lasted for just two seasons (1991 and 1992). With increased support from the NFL, the league was resurrected as NFL Europe in 1995 with the three old European WLAF teams (Barcelona, London, and Frankfurt) returning to be joined by three new teams. It is operated by the NFL as a sort of farm league or summer practice league. www.nationalchamps.net /Helmet_Project/nfle.htm   (188 words)

Fate of NFL Europe - Steelers Fever Forums Scouts and others in the NFL moan about the lack of good prospects in NFL Europe this season and say the primary benefit of sending their players across the Atlantic seems to be the roster exemptions they gain in training camp for doing so. Rumors have the NFL possibly moving the league to the United States, but that was tried when it began as the World League of American Football in 1991 and it did not work, causing the league to be put on hiatus for 1993 and 1994 before becoming all-Europe in 1995. Although attendance for NFL Europe has risen 8 percent through the first five weeks of this season, the six-team spring football league continues to lose money for NFL owners, and what was supposed to be a developmental league has produced few good prospects in the past several years. www.steelersfever.com /forums/showthread.php?t=753   (1310 words)

SI.com - NFL - NFL Europe helps develop young QBs - Friday June 11, 2004 4:20PM But the success of NFL Europe quarterbacks isn't just a result of circumstance, although the ones who have made it to the Super Bowl were on great teams. Eight of 32 teams started a QB who had played in Europe during the 2003 season and 26 QBs with NFL Europe experience have started games in the NFL. Thanks to Davey's gaudy 105.6 passer rating in Europe, the media consensus in New England is that the 26-year-old will be the front-runner to replace the departed Damon Huard as Tom Brady's backup. sportsillustrated.cnn.com /2004/football/nfl/06/10/perloff.europeqbs   (1421 words)
