Former Rams and Bears safety Adam Archuleta was drafted by the Las Vegas franchise in the inaugural United Football League Draft.
Archuleta was the biggest name selected, with Chris Perry, LaBrandon Toefield, Brooks Bollinger, Jermaine Wiggins and Gary Stills also drafted. The most notable quarterbacks were exempt from the draft, and many players have already been assigned to teams based on relationships with coaches. The four head coaches are Jim Fassel (Las Vegas), Dennis Green (San Francisco), Jim Haslett (Orlando) and Ted Cotrell (New York).
