The Milano Seamen have finalized their roster ahead of the 2023 European League of Football season.
Milano makes the jump this year from the Italian Football League to the ELF, but there is still a lot of continuity on their roster from years past. That includes quarterback Luke Zahradka, an American who has been with the team for several years. Having an established signal caller like Zahradka clearly gives the Seamen an advantage heading into 2023. The Seamen also brought in former Hamburg Sea Devil Jean Constant to be a top pass-catching threat, as he has been one of the most prolific receivers in the brief history of the ELF. Ali Khalifa and Modesta Pooda will share carries in the running game.
On defense, a pair of American imports in Dejvion Steward and Marquise Manning will patrol the secondary, along with Italian standout Bismark Yeboah. Perhaps their most famous player is Giorgio Tavecchio, a kicker who played college football at Cal and spent parts of six seasons in the NFL.
Overall, this is a well-rounded roster filled with talented and passionate Italian players who have a good amount of experience competing with and against each other. We shall see how the team performs in their ELF debut season.
