Chris

Leak

Orton has reportedly outperformed Griese during early camp work. The former rookie starter showed up to the Bears’ facility in the “best shape of his life” and, at worst, isn’t likely to lose his roster spot to Chris Leak.

The AAFL begins its season on April 12. It’s attempting to cater to college football fans who may not necessarily root for the NFL. For example, team Florida will play three of its five games in The Swamp in Gainesville. Every player in the league must have a college degree. Aside from Florida, other team locales are Texas, Michigan, Alabama, Arkansas, and Tennessee.

The former Florida signal caller spent training camp with the Bears last season before being cut. The Bills have also expressed interest in Leak, who was signed to play in the forthcoming All-American Football League. The AAFL will now begin its inaugural campaign in 2009.

Leak participated in Chiefs rookie camp as a tryout player in early May, but apparently didn’t show too well. His game isn’t suited for the big leagues.

He’s five feet, 11.7 inches tall. Leak was tremendous in the BCS Championship but will likely be a second-day pick because of his size.

Leak is a longshot to overtake Kyle Orton as Chicago’s third QB.
