Daunte Culpepper wasn't on an NFL field when the season kicked off Sunday. He wasn't even watching on television. The 11-year NFL veteran was busy watching film.
"I've got to watch tape of the Hartford Colonials," Culpepper said. "I'll watch the NFL here and there, you know, if a national TV game is on and I don't have anything to do."
Culpepper will kick off a different season as a member of the Sacramento Mountain Lions, who open their United Football League season Sept. 18 at Hartford.
"I want to showcase myself to those who doubted me because I was injured or for whatever reason," Culpepper said. "I just want to go and show them. I'm glad I have a platform."
But the 33-year-old former Vikings star said he has no interest in returning to the NFL this season. He is under contract with the UFL until the season concludes, which is either the regular-season finale on Nov. 13 or the championship game on Nov. 26. In the NFL, that would mean returning anywhere from Week 11 to 13.
"I am thinking more about the work I have to do here," Culpepper said. "If I am going to sign with an NFL team, I don't see myself doing it until free agency next year.
"If it's a super sweet situation, if that happens, I will cross that bridge when I get there."
