Report
Pacific Pro League is an intended AAA Professional American Football, which was to begin play in 2020 with teams in four Southern California counties: Los Angeles County, Ventura County, Orange County and San Diego County, where the league is headquartered.
In an era where each new AAA or AA Pro League has a different angle the Pacific Pro said it would employ players straight out of high school, who don’t want or cannot play in college..
Tom Brady’s agent Don Yee teamed up with Jamie Hemann, former President of the NFL Network, and three-time Super Bowl Champion Ed McCaffrey to fill the Pro void between High School and the National Football League.
After the League launches in 2020, the plan is expansion, first by putting four teams on the East coast by 2023, and then by 2025 to have a 12 team league by filling in the middle. The League will play an 8-game schedule during July and August, although the impact of the Coronavirus (Covid-19) may place a block on the league starting in 2020, and there has been no official announcement on the site, which is down, as of 3 May 2020.
