I don't have the list in front of me, but I re-created the XFL, and filled the teams using only legends in the game. One rule I had was that every team had to have a Legend kicker/punter. Of course, the crappier of the teams ended up with the silver punter and I focused their picks on the lines (O/D). No duplicate legends allowed.

This is mostly for a league I run myself (complete with schedule and playoffs). Lots of fun.

Making a Silver K work - actually one of my best teams:

G: QB Roger Staubach
G: WR James Lofton
S: TE Ben Coates
S: OLB Greg Lloyd
S: K Jan Stenerud
B: WR Ricky Sanders
B: DT Dan Saleaumua
B: OLB Brad Van Pelt
B: CB Albert Lewis
B: FS Eugene Robinson
B: FS Nolan Cromwell (as SS)

The offense is potent, the D is solid, Stenerud kicks it 8 yards into the end zone 9 out of 10 times, and basically if you can get to your opponent's 43 or so you can kick a FG.

Pass Heavy/Pass Defense

G: QB Dan Marino
G: WR Jerry Rice
S: WR Dante Lavelli
S: WR Don Maynard
S: TE Ben Coates/Todd Christiansen
B: DT Dan Saleaumua
B: OLB Robert Brazile
B: CB Terry McDaniel
B: CB Albert Lewis
B: FS Eugene Robinson
B: FS Fred Marion (as SS)

The offense is overwhelming since you have the best QB in the game and if you go with Christiansen you have 4 Route God receivers on the field (but I think Coates outplays him). Use all Shotgun and you will probably score almost every drive. This will force the other team to pass a lot to keep up. A lot of variety is possible. Another popular and dominant setup would be:

G: WR Jerry Rice
G: TE Shannon Sharpe
S: QB Randall Cunningham
S: WR Dante Lavelli
S: WR Don Maynard

Jan is my new secret weapon I use him as my punter too.
