The ELF Veterans
Jakeb Sullivan (Frankfurt Galaxy) and Jadrian Clark (Rhein Fire) are the two returnees for the 2023 season. Both are among the most productive quarterbacks of the past two years. Sullivan was elected MVP in 2021 and led Frankfurt to its first ELF title in the same year. Clark impressed in Düsseldorf in 2022 and, with 8.5 yards per pass, is one of the most efficient ball distributors in the ELF.
