ELF: Hamburg Sea Devils sign former University of Nevada DB Daniel Brown

The Hamburg Sea Devils of the European League of Football have signed former Div. I defensive back Daniel Brown.

Hamburg defensive coordinator Kendral Ellison commented on Brown’s fit in the Sea Devils secondary:

“Daniel fits this defense and what we like to do as a whole. He’s an exceptional athlete with a very high football IQ. Add to that his length, ball skills, and ability to lockdown guys, it’s a great addition. I’m excited to have him as part of the brotherhood.“

The 5’11”, 180-pound Harbor City, California native appeared in 43 games and had 115 tackles, including 4.5 for loss for the University of Nevada Wolf Pack (NCAA D1). The 23-year-old also recorded five interceptions and 23 passes defended. Four of his interceptions came during his senior season in 2019. His play did not go unnoticed as he was a two-time All-Mountain West honorable mention in 2018 & 2019.

Brown explains why he chose to take his talents to Hamburg:

“I want to be the best I can be each day for my teammates, to show why I shouldn’t have been taken so lightly, and lastly win a championship. I chose the Sea Devils because of the opportunity to play in a new country, to challenge myself outside of my comfort zone, and I followed the team somewhat last season and was intrigued by what I saw.”

In February of 2021, the former Wolf Pack standout was signed by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League but was released in late July prior to the season.
