Offensive player of the year is up next as we’ll examine which players were the catalysts of their team offenses.

WR Brendan Beaulieu - Nordic Storm

The first year ELF receiver has become the go-to guy for MVP candidate quarterback Jadrian Clark. Beaulieu route running, hands, and toughness have made his a tough cover for teams all season, especially in the red zone. His 1,219 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns are good for second in both categories this season.

QB Russell Tabor - Munich Ravens

Tabor is a young and exciting quarterback to watch. His excellent play has led the Ravens to an impressive 9-1 record. Tabor has 23 passing touchdowns and 10 interceptions, to go along with 1935 yards. But his ability to extend plays and run the ball is what makes him truly dynamic. Tabor’s  passing, winning record, and 10 rushing touchdowns and 572 yards as a runner certainly put him in the OPOY conversion.

QB Jaylon Henderson - Paris Musketeers

Another dual threat quarterback who could get this award is Paris’s Jaylon Henderson. Henderson has 32 total touchdowns when combining rushing and passing. His 602 yards on the ground and 1815 yards through the air certainly put him among the league's best, especially when factoring in he’s only thrown 6 interceptions. 

QB Demarcus Irons Jr - Wroclaw Panthers

Wroclaw's season hasn't gone as they wanted, but Irons has been a bright spot at times for the Panthers this season. The big bodied quarterback has a chance to lead the league in rushing as a quarterback with 852 yards through 10 games. He could also be the first ever ELF quarterback to rush for 1000 yards in a season. Overall Irons has 852 yards rushing and seven more running scores. In combination with his passing, this gives him 2,718 total yards and 27 total touchdowns against only 6 interceptions. 

A cluster of homegrown running backs:

Whether it's Adam Žouželka of the Prague Lions, Lucas Haslwanter of the Raiders Tirol, Dawid Brzozowski of the Wroclaw Panthers, Justin Rodney of the Munich Ravens, or even Chrisman Kyei of the Hamburg Sea Devils. All of these backs have rushing numbers, whoever of this bunch finishes the season the strongest may get an invite to the award show.
