Dallas Places Three on First Team

NEW YORK – The Dallas Desperados, who secured the No. 1 seed, a first-round bye and home-field advantage through the National Conference playoffs for the second consecutive season, led all AFL teams with three players on the 2007 All-Arena First Team, the League announced today.

Dallas OL DEVIN WYMAN, DL COLSTON WEATHERINGTON, and FB/LB DUKE PETTIJOHN were named All-Arena First Team.

Georgia QB CHRIS GREISEN, who set a new AFL single-season record with 117 touchdown passes while leading the Force to a franchise-best 14 wins, earns his first All-Arena selection in only his second season.

Utah WR SIAHA BURLEY earned his first All-Arena team selection after setting AFL single-season records in receptions (166) and yards (2,129), while becoming the first player in AFL history to record more than 2,000 receiving yards in a season.
