Former Georgia Bulldogs, Atlanta Falcons, and Los Angeles Rams star running back Todd Gurley has joined the ownership group for the Beasts, a Fan Controlled Football (FCF) team. The Beasts ownership group includes former NFL star Marshawn Lynch, Ravens cornerback Marcus Peters, former WNBA star Renee Montgomery, and WWE wrestler Miro.
The Beasts are 2-4 this season in FCF. All games of FCF are played in Atlanta, Georgia, at Pullman Yards. Fans have a large influence on the league and can impact play calls, instant replays, and more.
The FCF played its inaugural season in 2021. Games are streamed on Twitch and a variety of other platforms, which gives the league a much different target audience than the USFL, which is a top competitor for the FCF.
Todd Gurley remains unsigned as an NFL free agent. Gurley is still investing in football and in the Atlanta area with his decision to join the Beasts’ ownership group.
