Zach Edwards returns to Paris Musketeers for 2026

The Paris Musketeers have secured a major boost for their 2026 campaign: quarterback Zach Edwards is returning to the French capital. After winning the Offensive Player of the Year Award in 2024, Edwards chose to remain in the United States for a year-long break - but now the star quarterback is back and ready to lead the Musketeers once again.

Since joining the European League of Football in 2021, Edwards has been one of the league’s top performers every season. Over his four-year ELF tenure, he has thrown for nearly 12,000 passing yards and 121 touchdowns, numbers that cement his status as one of the league’s elite quarterbacks.

Standing at 1.94 meters and weighing 100 kilograms, Edwards is known not only for his arm talent but also for his dual-threat ability. In his last active season (2024), he rushed for 792 yards and eight touchdowns, consistently putting pressure on opposing defenses and extending drives with his legs.
