The Alliance of American Football continues to roll along and draw quite a bit of interest in the process. Of the eight teams in the league, one which stood out even before the year was the Birmingham Iron. This team has quite a bit of talent on both sides of the ball and they’re led by quarterback Luis Perez and former NFL running back Trent Richardson.
While the Iron have some big names, we’re going to take a look at the roster, offensive depth chart and their schedule for the remainder of the season. The AAF runs over 10 weeks and then has two semifinal games in the postseason along with a championship game on April 27 in Las Vegas.
We’ll dive right into the roster, TV schedule and updated record for the 2019 AAF season.

While Perez and Richardson immediately grab the attention, Birmingham’s wide receiver corps is strong. Quinton Patton played four seasons with the San Francisco 49ers, catching 73 passes for 880 yards and one score. Tobias Palmer and Quan Bray should also make a decent impact in the passing game.
Running back Ladarius Perkins has impressive playmaking ability as well and was a player who was a solid dual-threat option at Mississippi State from 2010-13. Over that stretch, he totaled 2,554 rushing yards, 714 receiving yards and 25 total touchdowns.
