One of the Buffalo Bills’ most valuable passing acquisitions from the 2018 campaign is returning in familiar surroundings. To start the weekend, quarterback AJ McCarron of the United Football League’s St. Louis Battlehawks confirmed his comeback. Josh Allen, a rookie at the time, replaced McCarron as the Bills’ starting quarterback in 2018 after the quarterback was sidelined by a shoulder injury during the preseason. Shortly before the season began, he was dealt to the Oakland Raiders.

Known for his legendary time as a University of Alabama student, McCarron played in two games at the conclusion of the season while spending the most of the season in the Cincinnati Bengals’ system. The 2014 draft pick, selected in the fifth round, has gained excellent recognition on the spring circuit. As a Battlehawk, he led the resurrected XFL in completion %, touchdown passes, and quarterback rating, which helped him win MVP awards the previous season. With the inaugural combined UFL season scheduled to begin on March 30, St. Louis is one of four XFL clubs joining forces with four other teams from the United States Football League in a collaborative effort.

McCarron has completed 113 of 179 passes for 1,192 yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions in his 19 career games in the NFL, including four starts. In addition, he has 22 rushes for 68 yards and one touchdown. As a starter, McCarron is 2-2; he spent three of those games with the Cincinnati Bengals and one with the Houston Texans.
