Former Rams QBs Ta’amu, Perkins Win 2025 UFL MVP Awards

Jordan Ta’amu led the D.C. Defenders to their first UFL Championship with a record-setting 58-34 victory over the Michigan Panthers, throwing for 390 yards and 4 touchdowns and setting a UFL record for points scored in a game. Meanwhile, Bryce Perkins, former Los Angeles Rams quarterback, was named the 2025 UFL MVP and Offensive Player of the Year after a strong season with the Michigan Panthers, where he threw for 1,342 yards and 14 total touchdowns while also rushing for 269 yards and five touchdowns. Perkins' performance in the UFL has highlighted his growth since his brief NFL tenure with the Rams, where he appeared in five games during the 2022 season. The UFL championship game between the Defenders and Panthers serves as a stage for both Ta’amu and Perkins to showcase their talents outside the NFL. Separately, Kurt Warner, a legendary Rams quarterback known for leading "The Greatest Show on Turf," remains celebrated as one of the highest-graded quarterbacks of the past 25 years and a Hall of Famer. These narratives collectively underscore the continuing influence of former NFL players in alternative leagues and the legacy of Rams quarterbacks in professional football.
