Culpepper signs with UFL's Sacramento club

Football Betting Lines

06/07/2010 - Sacramento, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former NFL quarterback Daunte Culpepper has signed with the United Football League's Sacramento Mountain Lions.

The move will re-unite Culpepper with Dennis Green, who was Culpepper's head coach with the Minnesota Vikings. Green is now the head coach of the Mountain Lions, who are headed into the second UFL season this fall.

Culpepper, 33, played in eight games (five starts) for the Detroit Lions during the 2009 NFL season, completing 89-of-157 passes for 945 yards, with three touchdowns and six interceptions.

"My goal for this year was to get on the field and play football," said Culpepper. "When the opportunity came for me to sign with the UFL and play for coach Green in Sacramento I could not resist. I am impressed with his approach to the game and to his players."

The Vikings selected Culpepper with the 11th overall pick in the 1999 NFL Draft, and he spent his first seven seasons with Minnesota. He was a three- time Pro Bowl selection in his time with the Vikings, but bounced around the NFL after leaving the Vikings as he struggled with injuries.

In 105 career NFL games with the Vikings, Dolphins, Raiders and Lions, Culpepper threw for 24,153 yards and 149 touchdowns while completing 63 percent of his passes. Culpepper also ran for 2,652 yards and 34 touchdowns.

The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.

Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country.
