With only one game left in the German Football League regular season and teams jockeying for playoff positioning the races in the different offensive categories have tightened up.
Dresden Monarch’s WR Kevonn Mabon has retained his first place in receiving yardage while Chris McClendon of the Bruanschweig New Yorker Lions remains atop the rushing leaderboard. And as he has done for much of the season, Marburg Mercenries quarterback Jake Sullivan tops the GFL in overall passing yardage and average yards per game.
What’s notable is that the two unbeaten teams in the league – the Schwäbisch Hall Unicorns and Braunschweig New Yorker Lions – are not dominating the offensive stats.
The Marburg Mercenaries still top the list with three players while the Hildesheim Invaders, Frankfurt Universe and Schwäbisch Hall Unicorns have two apiece. Behind them with one player are the Dresden Monarchs, Allgäu Comets, Braunschweig New Yorker Lions, Potsdam Royals, Stuttgart Scorpions and Munich Cowboys. Teams without representation include the Cologne Crocodiles, Ingolstadt Dukes, Kiel Baltic Hurricanes, Kirchdorf Wildcats, Berlin Rebels and Dusseldorf Panther.
Passing
Despite being idle this past weekend, Marburg Mercenaries QB Jake Sullivan continues to dominate the passing yardage leaderboard and now has 4,280 yards and a league best 41 TDs. Steven Cluley, QB of the Frankfurt Universe held onto 2nd despite playing only two quarters against Stuttgart and has 3,326 yards while Stuttgart’s QB Michael Eubank returned to the list and now has 3,191 yards. Casey Therriault from the Hildesheim Invaders has moved back up to 4th with his 3,137 yards while Schwäbisch Hall Unicorns QB Jadrian Clark played for a little over one quarter in his team’s 71-26 shellacking of the Allgau Comets but his 102 yards gives him 3,135 yards for the season, good for 5th. He leads the league in TD passes with 40.
