SIOUX FALLS, S.D. -- Sam Lee, a former Augustana University football All-American and current professional on the Birmingham Iron of Alliance of American Football league, was recently back in Sioux Falls and joined the Viking Voices podcast.

Lee looks back at his time on campus, but also the excitement as he get set to start his first professional training camp. Each team in the AAFL starts camp with 75 players, with rosters cut to 52 for the start of the season.

Birmingham opens the season on Feb. 10, at Legion Field against Memphis.

Founded by TV and film producer Charlie Ebersol and Hall of Famer Bill Polian, The Alliance features eight teams, under a single entity structure, playing a 12-week season kicking-off February 9, 2019 on CBS and culminating with the championship game the weekend of April 26-28, 2019.

"I'm looking forward to to going to work and putting in maximum effort every day and being the best teammate I can be," Lee said. "I look forward to doing anything for the team to give us a chance to be successful this upcoming season," Lee said earlier this year.
