The Alliance of American Football, a developmental league that has been much needed, is set to start the week after the Super Bowl. Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward is working as a Players Relation Executive with the AAF. He joins us on Schooled with the Professor.

Hines goes in depth on how the league is being set up and some of the unique rules that will be tried. The mission of the league is to keep players developed for the chance to get into the NFL. Ward talks about how the AAF won’t have kickoffs or the point after touchdown. On the football front, Hines talks about the LeVeon Bell holdout. He discusses how the rule changes have made it easier for receivers to get into the middle of the field to make catches with limited fear of being hit. Plenty of good football talk with Hines Ward.
