AL.com: Stallions WR Cain ready to kick off the UFL’s first season

>> Birmingham Stallions wide receiver Deon Cain is “definitely glad” the United Football League is using the USFL kickoff rules instead of the XFL’s.The USFL had five touchdowns on kickoff returns last season. The XFL had one.

“I feel that brings excitement to the game,” Cain said, “and also for film-wise, it’ll help a lot of guys in the special-teams areas, just kind of help them with the league because that will be more film for them to watch, so I’m definitely grateful for the opportunity, for them to pass that.”

Last season, Cain returned the opening kickoff 82 yards for a touchdown in Birmingham’s 45-31 loss to the New Orleans Breakers on April 29, then returned a kickoff 91 yards for a touchdown in the Stallions’ 24-20 victory over the Pittsburgh Maulers in the next game on May 7. <<

Absolutely... great article.  I thought the Eagles made a mistake cutting him and I while I can't place his name wasn't impressed with the Eagles decision there.    Cain is an asset for Birm and the league.
