Former UConn DL makes pro debut
Former UConn defensive end Teddy Jennings became the eighth senior from UConn's 2012 team to play professionally.
Jennings made his debut with the Arena Football League's Philadelphia Soul in a 62-55 overtime loss to Arizona on Saturday night.
Jennings had three tackles and the game's only sack.
Jennings is one of two former UConn players in the Arena Football League as linebacker Jerome Williams is a rookie with San Jose, which happens to be Philadelphia's next opponent as the teams will play on Mar. 23 at 8 p.m. in a game available on ESPN3. San Jose opens the season on Monday with a 10 p.m. game at Portland.
