Daquan Neal, who leads the IFL in passing yards (1,021) and touchdowns (26), is trying out for the Colts.
Justin Spears The unfortunate side effects to having great players in the IFL: Competing professional football leagues could — and often do — poach them at a moment’s notice.
Neal was stellar last weekend, completing 12 of 15 passes for 152 yards and five touchdowns and rushing for two scores in a win over the then-undefeated Rattlers. On Tuesday, Sugar Skulls coach and general manager Dixie Wooten received a phone call from Colts director of pro scouting Jonathan Shaw inquiring about Neal.
Cunningham"understands the game of football and is pretty damn good,” Wooten said. “People are going to be surprised when they see him play.”"If we’re not moving people up, why have the IFL?" he said."It’s great for the league, because now it shows the NFL is watching the best player in our league. … I’m super proud of him. To see him grow as a quarterback, I’m super proud of him getting this situation with the Colts, because now it shows the hard work pays off.
“He’s got the size, the arm, the feet, the leadership and the dedication to make someone a winner,” Wooten said. Fortunately for Tucson, the Sugar Skulls still have All-IFL running back Mike Jones, who leads the league in rushing touchdowns , and a receiving corps that has three players — Arthur Jackson, Quinton Pedroza and Carrington Thompson — among the top 12 pass-catchers in the IFL.
Extra points• Tucson kicker Logan Justus was named IFL Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance against the Rattlers. Justus made both of his field-goal attempts and tallied eight PATs.
