Prague Lions sign QB Jaylon Henderson for the 2026 season

The Prague Lions have made a key move, signing quarterback Jaylon Henderson for the 2026 season, adding one of the most accomplished and efficient passers in recent European football history to their roster.

A proven winner abroad

Henderson arrives in Prague fresh off a strong 2025 season with the Paris Musketeers, where he threw for 2,135 yards and 29 touchdowns against just six interceptions, leading the team to a 7-5 record. Prior to that, he established himself as a legend in the German Football League, guiding the Potsdam Royals to back-to-back titles in 2023 and 2024 while compiling a remarkable 30-1 overall record. His 2024 season was historically dominant, throwing for 5,202 yards and 77 touchdowns with a completion percentage of 77.4%.

From Boise State to global football

The 28-year-old’s journey to Europe began after a successful collegiate career at Boise State, where he led the Broncos to a Mountain West Conference championship in 2019 and was named the title game’s Offensive MVP. His professional path has included stops in the Indoor Football League and Japan’s X-League, where he was named Rookie of the Year with the Panasonic Impulse after an undefeated regular season.

A perfect match in Prague

Henderson’s signing signals serious ambition from the Lions, who are coming off a remarkable turnaround season. After finishing 1-11 in both 2023 and 2024, Prague improved to 7-5 in 2025. Adding a quarterback of Henderson’s caliber—a proven leader with a history of elevating programs and winning championships—makes the Lions an immediate contender and one of the most intriguing teams to watch in 2026.
