When people think of the early days of the ELF there was one unique player who kept making plays in all three phases of the game during that magical 2021 season. That player was number 8 for the Leipzig Kings and one of the league’s best names, Alpha Jalloh.
Offense, Defense, & Special Teams
The veteran was a true triple threat in 2021 playing offense, defense, and special teams at an extremely high level. Until teams started kicking away from him, the then 28-year-old Jalloh returned 18 kickoffs for a total of 649 yards, including one 100-yard return, for an average of 36 yards a return, with three return touchdowns.
“On the field, my favorite memory was honestly playing Berlin Thunder, the very first game. I was thankful to make history by returning the first kick return for a touchdown in ELF history. Also I have to mention, I was always grateful to play in front of our home crowd in Leipzig. Our fans in 2021 were amazing.”
