NFL coaches abundant in the 2025 ELF season
One of the headlines of the ELF off-season was the Paris Musketeers signing Jack Del Rio as their next head coach. The story made waves across the football world as the ELF and the Musketeers were able to convince the former superbowl winning coach to come to France.
“Yeah, Jack Del Rio is obviously a household name in the NFL. He's been a coordinator, been a head coach in the NFL. To me, it speaks volumes about the quality of the league and it's a testament to what the franchises have done in order to convince somebody of his magnitude to come over and be the head coach.” -Commissioner Patrick Esume
Jack Del Rio & Jim Tomsula
ELF fans know Del Rio isn’t the only former NFL head coach in the league as Jim Tomsula has led the Rhein Fire to back to back titles in his three years in Düsseldorf. Now the former San Francisco 49ers coach leads the Fire into 2025 without MVP quarterback and running back Jadrian Clark and Glen Toonga, giving the Fire and Tomsula new challenge:
“It’s consistency again that keeps you still up there. And the consistency is Jim Tomula and his coaching staff, right? Richard Kent, tremendous coach. So, I think that these two gentlemen, they're going to put a very good football team on the field that's well coached. They might not be as strong as the two years before, but they're going to be up there again.”
Along with Del Rio and Tomsula, the ELF has several coaches with NFL experience including new head coach of the Frankfurt Galaxy Bart Andrus, who spent 5 seasons as an assistant coach in the NFL, as well as coaching in the CFL and USFL.
Other coaches in the ELF this season with NFL experience include:
Berlin Thunder: OL coach Art Valero
Nordic Storm: Head coach John Schoop & defensive coordinator Brandon Noble
Prague Lions: DB coach Darqueze Dennard
Madrid Bravos: Head coach Andrew Weidinger, defensive coordinator Jim Collins
Fehervar Enthroners: Head coach Mark Ridgley
Raiders Tirol: Head coach Jim Herrmann, offensive coordinator Charlie Eger, and RBs coach Terry Malone
Hamburg Sea Devils: Defensive coordinator Ray Woodard
Helvetic Mercenaries: DL coach Nordly ‘Cap’ Capi
Vienna Vikings: Analyst Norm Chow and kicking coach Giorgio Tavecchio

#48 William Patterson
Wherever Willie Patterson goes, success follows. After winning a championship with Rhein Fire in 2023, he joined the Madrid Bravos and played another strong season. He is extremely versatile — lining up as a wide receiver, running back, and even quarterback.
#47 Yannick Mayr
Austrian receiver Yannick Mayr is known for his speed and explosiveness. He created many big plays and was a constant deep threat. That’s why the Vienna Vikings worked hard to bring him back as a key homegrown talent.

New look Lions: Prague ready to surprise in 2025
With our new article series, we’re introducing all 16 European League of Football franchises for the 2025 season. We highlight the top stars every fan needs to know. Today, we take a look at the Prague Lions — a team that had a tough and mixed 2024 season.
A new strategy for success?
The Prague Lions joined the ELF in 2023 but have not had much success so far. In 24 games, they’ve only won twice. But going into 2025, the Lions might be ready to surprise some people. One reason is their new approach to building the roster. Instead of relying only on new faces, they’ve added import players who already know the league and have proven themselves.

Versatile playmaker Patterson
One of the biggest names in their offense will be Willie Patterson. He showed his skills in 2023 with Rhein Fire, which led to him signing with the Madrid Bravos in 2024. There, he played a key role and impressed as a true all-around player — receiver, rusher, and even as an emergency quarterback. The Lions now hope Patterson can bring that same spark to their offense in 2025.
Homegrown talent steps up
The Lions lost a big piece of their defensive line during the off-season. James Brooks, their top defensive lineman, moved into a new role as the team’s defensive coordinator. Now, Czech talent Jakob Smutny is one of the players expected to take the next step in 2025. After recording 51 tackles, 2 sacks, and 14 tackles for loss last season, he’s shown the potential to become a real difference-maker on the defensive line.

Double trouble in the defensive backfield
With Brooks moving to coaching, the Lions also changed their strategy with American imports. Instead of one American on the line and one in the backfield, they now have two American defensive backs. One of them is Ja’Len Embry, who also played for the Madrid Bravos last year. He was one of the top cornerbacks in the league before an injury stopped his season. Embry was on track to be one of the interception leaders and is known for shutting down wide receivers. The Lions hope he can bring that same energy and lockdown ability to Prague.

Coaching boost from Madrid
The Lions also made a big change on the sidelines. Dave Warner, the former offensive coordinator of the Bravos, is now the new head coach. Warner helped lead one of the best offenses in the league last year — fifth in scoring and sixth in total yards. Now he brings his experience to Prague, along with a few familiar faces, and gets the chance to show what he can do as a head coach.
The Prague Lions are clearly heading in a new direction. With strong additions on and off the field, they might become one of the surprise teams of the 2025 ELF season. Fans should definitely keep an eye on this team.Don't miss a single game - Get your Game Pass now!

Top 100 Players of the 2024 ELF Season: Ranks 80 to 71
In April, we are revealing the Top 100 graded players of the 2024 European League of Football season, based on the advanced evaluation system by SportsMetrics. These rankings reflect pure on-field performance, with position-specific stats, consistency, and impact across the season. Today, we take a look at players ranked #80 to #71.
#80 Hugo Dyrendahl
What a rookie year for the 26-year-old. The linebacker was able to establish himself right away with Frankfurt Galaxy, starting all twelve games and recording 135 tackles. He even made it to the All-Star team. Despite his big role, Dyrendahl had to answer the call of home. The Swedish native will play for Nordic Storm next season.
#79 Juan Flores-Calderon
In a rather disappointing Milano Seamen team, Flores-Calderon was a real bright spot. The 21-year-old wide receiver collected 732 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. The 2023 Offensive Rookie of the Year will also be seen in the ELF next season. But then with the Madrid Bravos.

#78 Ken Hike Jr.
The free safety joined the Vienna Vikings late after spending some time in Switzerland, but still had a direct impact. Especially in terms of turnovers. In five games, he made two interceptions, forced a fumble and recovered three more. He also had eleven pass deflections. Next season, Hike Jr. will prove this talent with the Prague Lions.
©Alexandre Bertrand.
#77 Krzystof Wis
The middle linebacker is one of the cornerstones of the Wroclaw Panthers' defense. Together with superstar A.J. Wentland, Wis makes life difficult for opposing running backs. The 37-year-old veteran recorded 78 tackles, including ten for loss and 6.5 sacks last season.
#76 Jakub Smutný
Defensive tackle Jakub Smutný also likes to bring running backs to the ground. The 28-year-old Czech had his breakthrough last season and more than doubled his number of tackles. The Prague Lions rewarded this with a contract extension.
©Jakub Platenik
#75 Nicolas Khandar
After a rookie season with only four games as a backup, the running back celebrated his breakthrough last season. The 31-year-old recorded 686 rushing yards and four touchdowns. After two years with Stuttgart Surge, the Frenchman returns to his home country and joins the Paris Musketeers.
74 Flamur Simon
What a year for Flamur Simon. The linebacker established himself at Rhein Fire, became a starter, put in outstanding performances and played a big part in Rhein Fire celebrating their second ELF Championship title in a row. So it's no wonder that the German extended his contract this offseason.
©Lina Bollig
#73 Raul Cernuda Pastor
Raul Cernuda Pastor showed potential with the Barcelona Dragons in 2023 and performed well with the Madrid Bravos in 2024. The homegrown tight end established himself as a starter and contributed five touchdowns. The 28-years-old even made it to our Homegrown Team of the Year.
72 Luke Glenna
The US import was an important cornerstone of a strong Madrid Bravos defense. As a result, the safety was selected to the All-Star team — just like the year before for the Barcelona Dragons. Now the 25-year-old is ready for a new adventure and joins Nordic Storm.

#71 Nicolai Schumann
The Berlin Thunder homegrown is one of the best tight ends in the league. The 33-year-old veteran has already been voted onto the ELF All-Star Team twice.

#90: Berend Grube
Berend Grube is an ELF veteran who has played in the league since season one. After three strong years with the Hamburg Sea Devils, he joined the Raiders Tirol for 2024 and showed his skills once again. His consistent performance earned him a spot in the Top 100 — and now, he’ll play for the Stuttgart Surge.
#89: Patrick Poetsch
Patrick Poetsch has also been in the ELF since the beginning. He played for the Cologne Centurions and Rhein Fire, where he helped win two Championships. He may not have flashy stats, but his pass- and run-blocking skills make him one of the most reliable fullbacks in the league.
#88: Adam Zouzelka
Zouzelka was one of the bright spots for the Prague Lions in a tough season. In his second ELF year, he proved to be a consistent and hard-working player. With a stronger roster around him in 2025, he could help push the Lions to new heights.
Always ready for his quarterback: Marvin Rutsch. ©Roland Johannes
#87: Marvin Rutsch
Rutsch is the ELF all-time receptions leader and a key target for any quarterback. In 2024, he had 55 catches for 645 yards and 7 touchdowns. His reliable hands and sharp route-running once again made him one of the top receivers in the league.
#86: Alessandro Vergani
Vergani was a standout offensive lineman in 2024, showing strong pass- and run-blocking skills. He made the 2nd All-Star Team and will return to Stuttgart in 2025, much to the joy of quarterback Reilly Hennessey.
Lennart Weitz is one of the most talented linebackers in the league. ©Marc Junge
#85: Lennart Weitz
Weitz was part of Rhein Fire’s championship-winning team and showed why he’s a top linebacker. His defensive impact was big — and the team made sure to keep him with a contract extension for the upcoming season.
#84: Anthony Brown
Brown made a big impact with exciting plays alongside QB Carlton Aiken Jr. Injuries slowed down both players, but Brown still performed well enough to earn his place among the league's top 100.Madrid Bravos quarterback from last season: Steven Duncan. ©Just Shots
#83: Steven Duncan
Duncan had a tough season. He started with the Wrocław Panthers but was released early. Later, the Madrid Bravos signed him to replace injured QB Chris Helbig. In Madrid, he proved his talent and earned his spot in the Top 100.
#82: Marvin Wappl
Wappl played for one of the most dominant defensive lines in the league with the Vienna Vikings. His strong performance helped stop many offensive plays, and he rightfully belongs in the Top 100.
#81: Daniel Schumacher
Schumacher had a mixed year—not because of his own performance, but because of his team’s inconsistency. The Cologne Centurions ended the season 6-6, but Schumacher still punted 55 times for 1,729 yards, showing his strong and consistent leg.
Stay tuned as we continue counting down the Top 100 ELF Players of 2024 — coming tomorrow: spots 80 to 71!

ELF x Sports Metrics Top 100 Graded Players - Explained
In the coming month of April, we will be releasing the top 100 graded players of the 2024 season according to sportsmetrics. The grades reflect the individual's performance on the field.
Grading System for Players and Teams
SportsMetrics Grades evaluate both individual players and teams based on their performance in a single game as well as the entire season. The grades are designed to provide an accurate and comprehensive assessment of a player’s performance in different categories such as passing, rushing, receiving, defense, and kicking. Each category is further divided into player positions, such that each player’s performance is evaluated against other players in the same position. The grades are designed to be scalable for different player positions, meaning that a linebacker’s performance is compared to other linebackers in each category.
Weighted Metrics
Each category in the SportsMetrics grading system sets different weights on statistical in-game metrics. These metrics are then weighted based on their importance to the category to provide an accurate evaluation of a player’s performance. This ensures that the grading system is fair and objective, and the players’ performance is evaluated based on the metrics that matter the most in each category.
Comparison and Scaling
To compare and scale the teams’ and players’ performance, SportsMetrics Grades use a specially fitted sigmoid function. This function ensures that the grades are scaled appropriately, and the players’ performance is evaluated accurately based on the metrics in each category. The stats are compared with the overall distribution of league performance in each category and then weighted by the category weights.
Limitations
While SportsMetrics Grades provides an accurate and unbiased evaluation of the players and teams, it has some limitations. Currently, it is technically not possible to rate offensive line players accurately. Thus, those players were rated by expert opinions. Additionally, the ratings for defensive backs should be read cautiously, as the best defensive backs may not have the best numbers since quarterbacks try to avoid throwing in their direction.

iamcadeyoung: How do you get recruited?
There are a lot of different ways to get recruited by a team of the European League of Football. The easiest and most common way for homegrown European players is to play for a regional football team and then perform at try-outs. However, if you are already a proven player or even compete(d) in the United States collegiate system, teams can also review your film. If you want to reach out to a team, feel free to contact them via their respective team websites.
b1ak3varg__: Just getting into the ELF and still can’t decide on a team! What is an underdog team like Buffalo?
Thank you for your question. The European League of Football will kick off its fifth season with 16 teams in 2025. There are a lot of great storylines coming into this year because of multiple moving parts. However, if you are looking for a team that was close to reaching the playoffs or lost in the wild card round over the last years, it is the Madrid Bravos.
In their first ELF season, the Madrid Bravos came up swinging. By doing the unthinkable as a new franchise, the Spanish team even made it to the playoffs but lost the 2024 ELF Champions Rhein Fire 40-10 in the Wild Card Round. But they have hired Rhein Fire’s offensive coordinator Andrew Weidinger as their new head coach. Alongside other great hires, the Spanish franchise made some blockbuster moves and signed impact players from different teams all over the European continent.
So, if you want to jump their a bandwagon before the Madrid Bravos take off, now is your time to join the party!
j.ravelo__: When do rosters usually get finalized by?
Thank you for your question! The roster of a team in the European League of Football gets finalized close to the start of the season. This year, the ELF kicks off on the 17th May. So, you can expect your favorite team to have a finalized roster a few weeks prior. However, keep in mind that rosters in American football contain a large number of players which is why there will always be some fluctuation, e.g. player signings, cuts or even injuries.
