After playing the past two seasons with one of the worst NFL teams, the Detroit Lions, quarterback Daunte Culpepper thought he could have better chance out of the NFL, therefore he chose to sign an UFL team, Sacramento Mountain Lions, during this offseason, and, coincidently or not, will work again for his former coach Dennis Green.
Culpepper was put on Minnesota Vikings jersey as a first-round, 11th overall draft pick of the 1999 NFL draft when Green was working as the Vikings head coach. Culpepper totally spent seven seasons with the Vikings and was selected to the Pro Bowl for three times during the tenure. He joined the Miami Dolphins for 2006 season and switched again in 2007 to the Oakland Raiders. His last two seasons were spent with the Lions.
The eleven-year veteran had not been able to play a full season since leaving the Vikings and finished last season with 89 completed passes of 157 attempts for 945 yards and three touchdowns but was intercepted for six times during the eight games he played. He became an unrestricted free agent this offseason but did not sign with any NFL team. Instead, he contacted some other football teams from other leagues and finally chose another team with the name Lions but in a different city.
