-- 205 lbs.
The XFL's top-rated passer with 99.3 rating,

streak. Brohm had excellent touchdown-to-interception
ratio (9 touchdowns, 3 interceptions, before his season

three games) to finish third overall among XFL rushing
leaders (555 yards). Smart's trio of 100-yard games
came against the respected Chicago, Los Angeles and
San Francisco defenses. Smart's versatility was exhibited
each week with his growing reputation as a receiving
threat out of the backfield, as the former Western Kentucky
All-American caught a team-high 27 balls.
RB -- John Avery -- Chicago Enforcers -- 5'9" -- 190 lbs.
The XFL's leading rusher with 800 yards, he helped lead
the Enforcers to the XFL Playoffs. He averaged a league-best
5.3 yards per carry and scored seven TDs, which was
2nd in the XFL. He also had the two best single-game
marks of 180 yards vs. Birmingham in week 8 and 157
yards against Orlando in week one, when he earned Player
of the Week honors.

TE -- Rickey Brady -- Las Vegas Outlaws -- 6'4" -- 225 lbs.
One of only two players to catch three TDs in one game
(3/24 @ Los Angeles), Brady led the Outlaws with five
TD catches on the season. Although he was a forgotten
receiver during much of Las Vegas' QB shuffle, Brady
consistently shut down opposing defenders at the point
of attack and led the way for Rod Smart and the other
running backs.
OT -- Christopher Perez -- Chicago Enforcers -- 6'5" -- 280 lbs.
The veteran tackle held together an offensive line that
battled injuries all season long. Anchored an offensive
line that produced the league's best rushing attack
and blocked for the XFL's No. 1 rusher.
OG -- Jason Gamble -- Orlando Rage
-- 6'3" -- 307 lbs.
A versatile lineman, he started all 10 regular season
games and both playoff contests for the Rage. His main
position was left guard, but he also played tackle and
center when needed.
OT -- Lonnie Palelei -- Las Vegas Outlaws -- 6'6" -- 290 lbs.
This former UNLV star returned to Las Vegas after five
NFL seasons to anchor the Outlaws' offensive line, as
Palelei was the only Las Vegas lineman to start all
10 regular-season contests. Consistently battling the
XFL's top defensive ends, Palelei also served as the
offensive leader of the team and was a jovial locker
room presence.
C -- Mike Sheldon -- Memphis Maniax
-- 6'4" -- 305 lbs.
Sheldon started all 10 games at center for the Maniax
and anchored the offensive line of the XFL's top-ranked
offense. The Maniax finished second in the league in
rushing offense and tied for third in passing offense.
With Sheldon leading the way, the Memphis line helped
the club produce the only offense to average better
than 300 yards per game.
OG -- Glenn Rountree -- Memphis Maniax -- 6-3 -- 302 lbs.
Rountree started all 10 games at left guard and provided
stability on the offensive line of the XFL's No-1 ranked
offense. The Maniax were the only team to average more
than 300 yards of total offense per game and ranked
second in rushing and third (tied) in passing.
