He also returned a kickoff for a score in Birmingham's previous game: What a start for the @USFLStallions! Deon Cain takes it the distance, for the first #USFL kickoff return TD of the season. Wow. @cainera1_pic.twitter.com/yyQvpaXHia Cain was a member of the Philadelphia Eagles practice squad before being released last November. He totaled eight catches for 106 yards during the preseason. He was a sixth-round NFL draft selection in 2018 by the Indianapolis Colts. He has nine career NFL catches for 124 yards but last saw action in the 2020 NFL season with the Pittsburgh Steelers. At Clemson, Cain had 130 receptions for 2,040 yards and 20 touchdowns (leaving tied for fourth-most in Clemson history) in 1,419 snaps over 42 games (14 starts). Birmingham also lists former Clemson cornerback Mark Fields on its roster. The game-changing play improved the Stallions to 3-1 on the season.
