Raleigh-Durham Skyhawks
December 21, 2011
The Raleigh-Durham Skyhawks were a dreadful entry in the NFL’s short-lived spring developmental league, the World League of American Football. With former N.C. State star and NFL MVP Roman Gabriel handling the coaching duties, the Skyhawks endured a winless 0-10 season in 1991. On the novelty side, the Skyhawks featured the very first (and very last) Soviet pro football players. The Skyhawks – and the Soviet Union – would both go out of business before 1991 was over.
