Former Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage never quite got his NFL career back on track in the years after he was traded (and later un-traded) to the New York Jets in 2020.
On Saturday, Ballage showed he's still got a little gas in the tank. In his first ever game with the Arlington Renegades, the running back broke a UFL record by ripping off a 77-yard touchdown run.
THE LONGEST RUN IN UFL HISTORY!!!!

Ballage, 29, was a fourth-round pick for the Dolphins in the 2018 NFL draft. He emerged as an exciting option in the team's offense late in his rookie year, recording a 75-yard touchdown against the Minnesota Vikings.
But after Miami phased him out of the lineup after he averaged just 1.8 yards per carry in 2019. Following his time with the Dolphins, Ballage had brief stints with the Jets, Los Angeles Chargers, and Pittsburgh Steelers. More recently, he spent time in 2023 with the San Antonio Brahmas of the XFL.
