Legnano, 12 November 2024, i FROGS Legnano presented the second American who will join the roster for the 2025 IFL Championship, thus completing the quota of imports granted. This is Danny Kittner, a very versatile <a href="https://www.archysport.com/2022/01/influential-nfl-players-of-2021/" title="Influential NFL Players Of 2021″>Wide Receiver with impressive numbers.

In his Junior Year in college he scored 2,251 total yards, at the University of Mary, North Dakota (NCAA D2), 1610 yards in his senior year. He was nominated for the Harlon Hill trophy in 2021 and 2022 (the D2 Heisman Trophy) and in 2023 he was invited to the Chicago Bears rookie camp, an opportunity truly for few. Immediately afterwards he signed for the Helsinki Roosters after the championship had already begun, where he scored 14 touchdowns and 1,037 yards in just 8 games.

With an overall “normal” physique, athletically he is a very fast and explosive player, he runs the 40-yard dash in 4.50 seconds, and has NFL-like agility and speed.

“Danny is a very flexible player, in addition to being a strong receiver he is also an excellent kick returner, he can play running back and if necessary he can also be deployed in defense as a cornerback and safety” comments with satisfaction the Frogs’ Sports Director, Matteo Buran, who makes it known that he has not yet completed his recruiting work for the new season.

An activity that has already largely strengthened the neroargento roster, with very important additions in both offense and defense. Starting from the other import Isaiah Pierre, an American cornerback with important international experience, who in his last year in Japan scored 73 tackles, 19 deflections, 7 interceptions and 4 forced fumbles, and from QB Luke Zahradka, director of the Italian national team with which he won a gold medal at the European Championships and with 3 Italian Bowls and 1 Czech Bowl in his palmares.

But other fundamental elements in defense will be players like Igor Timotijevic Colonna of the defense line, the Linebackers Kevin Khay, 1 European gold in the national team, and 3 Italian titles, the brothers Ivan and Nicolò Fontied Edoardo Gallo, the cornerback Lorenzo “Loco” Gioco and Federico Maffi, Defensive Back.

Edoardo Sandonatia also arrived in the offense to strengthen the attack line, the receiver Niccolò Pulsinelli and the Halfback Romano Pazzaglia.

“We have strengthened the team in various aspects, the work is not yet finished but we can already count on several very talented players, many of whom have international or European Championship experience which, I am sure, they will do next season” comments Ettore Guarneri, president.

“The confirmation of Danny Kittner’s arrival represents another important piece in the team’s overall strategy: Danny, in fact, is able to cover different roles excellently even in defence. As a receiver he will easily find an understanding with Luke: the Kittner – Zahradka pairing will make us have fun.”
