The XFL announced on Thursday that 19 players from the league will get tryouts with NFL teams during upcoming minicamps. Among them are former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Ben DiNucci and Jack Coan, who played for both Wisconsin and Notre Dame.

Ben DiNucci was a seventh-round pick in the 2020 NFL draft by the Cowboys. During his time with the Seattle Sea Dragons in the XFL, DiNucci led the league in passing yards (2,671) and touchdown passes (20), while also throwing 13 interceptions. He will be attending the Denver Broncos minicamp.
