From the XFL to NFL: Former Ole Miss QB Jordan Ta'amu reportedly agrees to NFL contract
Jordan Ta’amu played for the St. Louis BattleHawks in the first season of the XFL, leading the team to a 3-2 record before the league shut down for the year amid the COVID-19 outbreak.
Now, he’s reportedly heading to the other side of the state and joining the NFL.
Per agent Kenny Zuckerman on Twitter, Ta’amu has agreed to a contract with the Super Bowl-champion Kansas City Chiefs:
The Throwin' Samoan will forever be a BattleHawk.
The Chiefs just signed an absolute STUD!

Ta’amu figures to serve as Patrick Mahomes’ backup with the Chiefs in 2020. The Chiefs should once again be Super Bowl contenders in 2020.
