Paxton Lynch Went From NFL First Rounder to 12th-Round USFL Pick

Say what you will about Ryan Leaf being the NFL’s biggest bust, but Paxton Lynch has something to say about it.

Paxton Lynch has now gone from NFL first rounder, he was drafted by the Broncos all the way back in 2016, to a late rounder.

And last night and Lynch was drafted in the 12th-round by the Michigan Panthers in the USFL Draft.

Paxton became available following his release from the CFL.

You have to respect Lynch still at it after all these years.

Fromm NFL to CFL and now to the USFL.

Is there any league Lynch won’t play in to continue making a living from professional football.
