The D.C. Defenders selected Wiley 44th overall in the sixth round of the 2024 UFL draft, according to
their X account.
ANALYSIS
Currently signed with the NFL's Washington Commanders, Wiley would not have to go far if they release him from their roster. Selecting him was a relatively significant risk the D.C. Defenders were willing to take. From 2021 to 2023, Wiley logged at least 250 yards and multiple touchdowns each as both a rusher and receiver. That kind of versatile output has not been matched by any running backs selected before him.
