Top 100 Players of the 2024 ELF Season: Rank #2
Felix Pahl
In April, we are revealing the Top 100 graded players of the 2024 European League of Football season, based on SportsMetrics’ advanced evaluation system. These rankings are based only on on-field performance — including consistency, impact, and position-specific stats. Today, we highlight the player ranked #2.
#2 Kyle Kitchens
Kyle Kitchens is one of the most dominant players in ELF history — and once again, he proved it in 2024. The three-time Defensive Player of the Year had another outstanding season and earned the #2 spot in this year’s Top 100.
Kitchens led the league with 16.5 sacks, breaking his own ELF record (16) from the previous season. He also led the league in tackles for loss (TFL) and forced fumbles, continuing to be a nightmare for offensive lines across Europe. His ability to change a game with just one play is what sets him apart from others.
A new chapter with the Sea Devils
In the offseason, Kitchens made a big move. He signed with the Hamburg Sea Devils, bringing his elite pass-rushing skills to a new franchise. Now, the goal is clear: help the Sea Devils return to their winning ways and make a push for the playoffs.
With his experience, leadership, and unmatched production, Kyle Kitchens will be one of the most important players to watch in the 2025 season.
