ROME, Ga. - The Rome Renegades (9-1) are currently sitting atop the AIFL's Southern Conference and also hold the best record in the AIFL. One might ask, how does it get any better than that. For many of the Rome Renegades it is getting better every day. Several of Renegades players dreams of moving up to the next level of professional football are coming true. Quarterback Marcus Brady, Offensive Lineman Dwayne Morgan, Offensive Lineman Reggie Poole, Defensive Lineman John Bowman, and Defensive Back Russell Green have all been called up to the next level.
