USFL final regular season stats leaders 2022: Jordan Ta’amu passing champion, KaVontae Turpin leading receiver

USATSI

The USFL accomplished a feat no major spring football league reached since 2001 — finishing the regular season. Even though the USFL played all its games in Birmingham, Alabama, the league became the first since the XFL in 2001 to complete the regular season. (The AAF in 2019 and XFL 2.0 in 2020 did not finish their first seasons for different reasons.)

Whether the USFL has a second season in 2023 will be determined later, but the league did have some highlight players who emerged from year one. Some of these players are expected to be back for year two, based on the USFL player contracts that comes with a league option to extend it for an additional year — which players had to agree to upon signing the initial contract. 

Jordan Ta’amu of the Tampa Bay Bandits ended up throwing for the most passing yards in the league (2,015) along with the most passing touchdowns (14). Jordan Ellis of the New Orleans Breakers led the league in rushing yards (596) while Darius Victor of the New Jersey Generals had the most rushing touchdowns (nine). KaVontae Turpin of the Generals led the league in receiving yards (540) while Isaiah Zuber of the Houston Gamblers had the most receiving touchdowns (five).
