Honors
After the completion of the regular season, the All-NFL Europe League team was selected by the NFLEL coaching staffs, members of a media panel and fans voting online at NFLEurope.com.[ 15]
Additionally, Hamdan and defensive tackle Tony Brown were named offensive and co-defensive MVPs , respectively. Hamdan, who was in his third season with the Admirals, set an NFLEL record by posting a passer rating of 113.4, leading his team to a 6–1 record before suffering a season-ending injury. He completed 102 of 162 passes for a league-leading 1,629 yards with 12 touchdowns. In the Week 3 contest against Frankfurt he became only the second quarterback in league history to post a perfect 158.3 rating. Brown, who shared the award with Cologne Centurions' linebacker Philippe Gardent , became the third player in NFLEL history to win defensive MVP honors despite not being voted to the All-NFLEL team. He recorded four sacks and 40 tackles during the season.[ 15]
