Baton Rouge, La:  Former LSU quarterback Ryan Perrilloux officially put his name in the hat for the upcoming AFFA draft.

Perrilloux last played for the New Orleans Voodoo of the Arena League in 2014. He has also seen time in the NFL with the Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants.  As well as a brief stint in the Canadian Football League.

" The desire to play still burns inside me. I know my window to get back to the NFL has probably closed, but I see this as an opportunity to play the game I love. "  said the 32 year old Perrilloux.

Former LSU head coach Les Miles said, " I am a big fan of the kid! I have been rooting for him and think he can do whatever he sets his mind to. If I was still coaching in the AAF, I definitely would give him a serious look. "  ( Miles was head coach of the then expansion St.Louis Scouts in 2018, leading the Scouts to a playoff berth. He left to become head coach at the University of Kansas. )

The 6-3 204 lb Perrilloux has spoken to a couple AFFA clubs though it is unknown which ones.
