One of the most successful franchises in recent NFL history has been the Generals, even dating from their days in New Jersey. Here's a team that made the leap from the USFL to the NFL and has won multiple Super Bowls.

Of course, the 30 for 30 documentary "Five Star Generals" talked about the early days of the USFL and the Generals' leap to the big show. Apparently Donald Trump tried to buy the team, but negotiations fell through. He really missed out - maybe if he hadn't been so bullheaded, he could have been at the ground floor of something special.

Could Trump have capitalized on that success, or would he have been a detriment? Would all those teams have made the leap to the NFL?
