Top Signings of the Week – Munich Ravens sign underrated running back

‍Munich Ravens sign former Galaxy running back

The Munich Ravens are a new franchise in the European League of Football. But they have done a great job so far accumulating talented players that have gathered experience in the European League of Football on different rosters in previous years.

An example of that is the signing of running back Justin Rodney. The former Frankfurt Galaxy running back and special teams ace has performed at several different positions on the field over the past two years in the league.

The 26-year-old athlete was part of the Galaxy team that has won the first ever European League of Football Championship back in 2021. Last season, Rodney produced over 150 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns while adding 12 kickoff returns for 275 return yards.

His average of 22.92 returns yards per kickoff were the seventh most by any player in the league with ten or more kickoff returns.

Expect Rodney to be productive as rotational running back. But he can make the most damage when returning kicks and punts in the open field with his 4.4 speed.

From 2017 to 2020, Nunnelly has played for the Chattanooga Mocs where he was named 1^st Team All-Southern Conference because of his great accomplishments on the field.

Last season, the American wideout has played for Surge head coach Jordan Neuman at the Schwäbisch Hall Unicorns in the German Football League. He now follows his head coach to the European League of Football in 2023.

The Stuttgart Surge now have a stacked wide receiver room with Bryce Nunnelly leading the way. It will be interesting to see how defense try to defend all of Reilly Hennessey’s weapons when the third-ever European League of Football season kicks off on the first weekend of June.
