AFL / AF2 crossovers
How often do players in the arena leagues get a second shot at the NFL and step in? What are some of the recent players to do so? Thanks!

I believe that the Bears recently signed Timon Marshall out of the AFL to play receiver.

Clinton Hart will probably be the starting SS for the Chargers this year.

Yeah but Ted Cottrell has pretty much stated that he won't be the starter yet.

Georgia Force QB Chris Greisen should get his 2nd chance in the NFL. He played some years as a backup in Arizona and then headed to the arena leagues. In 2005 he played in A2 with the Green Bay Blizzard and tore up that league. Last year he backed up Clint Dolezel in Dallas, and this year he set a league record in touchdowns. He also leads the league in completion percentage.
