The Omaha Nighthawks of the United Football League today announced the signing of quarterback JEFF GARCIA. The UFL expansion team welcomes the former San Francisco 49ers star and four-time Pro Bowl selection to Omaha as head coach JEFF JAGODZINSKI prepares to open training camp this week.
As UFL Access expected following the radio chat with Omaha Nighthawks GM Rick Mueller, D.J. Shockley will be joining Omaha at their mini-camp.
In an interview with 1620 The Zone just after six this evening, Omaha Nighthawks GM Rick Mueller let slip Jeff Garcia as a potential QB for the UFL’s Omaha Nighthawks when rattling off a list of QBs. Also expected is D.J. Shockley.
