ELF: Hamburg Sea Devils sign standout WR Terryon Robinson
The Hamburg Sea Devils have announced the signing of all star wide receiver Terryon Robinson for the 2025 European League of Football season.
Robinson will add a huge boost to the Hamburg passing game. The Sea Devils finished with a 2-10 record in 2024 and produced just 2,070 yards passing, good for a dismal 13th among the 17 teams in the ELF.
The 5-10, 198 pound, the 29-year-old receiver spent part of the 2024 season with the Helvetic Mercenaries following Mexico’s Liga de Futbol Americano 2024 season which he spent with the Caudillos de Chihuahua. Robinson helped the Caudillos to an undefeated season and a championship. In the title game, Robinson was a factor catching a touchdown pass as the Caudillos defeated the Raptors del Valle de México 34-14. In four games with the Mercenaries, Robinson had 25 catches for 337 yards and four touchdowns.
He spent the 2023 season with the Cologne Centurions catching 58 passes for 565 yards and eight touchdowns. He had made his ELF debut with the now defunct Istanbul Rams in 2022 with six games left in the year. He finished the season ranked seventh in the league in receiving yards with 829 tied for eighth in touchdowns with eight. His average of 138.17 yards per game led all receivers in the league.
Originally from Decatur, Georgia, Robinson played college football at Western Carolina University (NCAA, Div. I, FCS) from 2014-2017. A four year impact player, he had his best season in his senior year, 2017, when he had 62 catches for 896 yards and 10 touchdowns. By the time his college career ended, he had become the Catamounts’ all time leader in receptions with 230 and ranked fifth in school history in receiving yards with 2,839. After tryouts with teams in the CFL and the XFL, he was set to play in the German Football League in the 2020 season before the COVID 19 pandemic ruined those plans. He then spent the 2021 season in Turkey with the Yeditepe Eagles. In 2022, he started the year with the Pioneros de Querétaro of Mexico before joining the Istanbul Rams in July of that year.
