Initial FFL Team Rosters

Initial FFL Team Rosters

When the FFL became a keeper league in 2004, the ten charter teams took part in an initial 18-round draft to populate their rosters. Each team had to pick three quarterbacks, four running backs, five wide receivers, and two each of tight ends, kickers, and team defenses in the draft, which followed a snake format.

The initial draft order was as follows, and was used for odd-numbered rounds (the reverse being used for even-numbered rounds):

1. Miami Pirates
2. Chicago Cougars (initially named Enforcers)
3. New York Freedom (initially named Attitude[s])
4. Oakland Choppers
5. Buffalo Stallions
6. Minnesota Warriors
7. Cincinnati Scrubs
8. Green Bay Cheese (initially named Tampa Bay Barracudas)
9. Los Angeles Quake
10. Pittsburgh Pride

This page lists the players each team selected in the 2004 Initial Draft, with the round each player was selected in to provide an alternate viewpoint of how the events of the day went down. If anything, the below rosters are a slice of history, a peek into how the modern FFL came together:
