Interception Overview (All-Time & Saison-Übersichten)
Interceptions gehören zu den folgenschwersten Schlüsselmomenten im American Football. Ein abgefangener Pass beendet nicht nur den gegnerischen Ballbesitz schlagartig, sondern verändert die Feldposition und das Momentum gravierend. Bei Return-Touchdowns (Pick Six) führt eine Interception direkt zu eigenen Punkten für die Defensive.
Diese Übersicht bildet die kanonische Master-Statistik aller historischen und aktuellen Interception-Daten der europäischen Spitzenligen:
- European League of Football (ELF, 2021–2025)
- American Football League Europe (AFLE, 2026)
- European Football Alliance (EFA, 2026)
Sie konsolidiert alle Karriere-Bestenlisten (Defense & Quarterbacks), das All-Time Pick-Six Leaderboard, historische Single-Season Rekorde, das Ballhawk Power Ranking sowie detaillierte Saison-für-Saison Übersichten an einem zentralen Ort.
1. All-Time Defensive Interception Leaderboard (ELF, AFLE & EFA)
In den europäischen Spitzenligen haben sich herausragende Defensive Backs und Linebacker als echte Ballhawks etabliert. Durch die Einbindung der EFA 2026 klettert Roedion Henrique (Frankfurt Galaxy) auf 16 Interceptions und belegt alleinigen Rang 3 (bzw. Rang 2 der regulären Saison-Werte), während Luke Glenna (Nordic Storm) mit 15 Interceptions mit Goran Zec gleichzieht und Macéo Beard (Nordic Storm) mit 13 Interceptions die Top 6 stürmt.

2. All-Time Pick-Six Leaderboard & Return-Touchdowns
Ein Pick-Six (Interception Return Touchdown) ist das ultimative defensive Big Play. In der Saison 2026 der EFA sorgten gleich zwei spektakuläre Spielzüge für Aufsehen: Mason Chambers erzielte in Woche 1 gegen die Paris Musketeers einen 95-Yard Return-Touchdown (den zweitlängsten der europäischen Geschichte), und Ken Hike Jr. trug in Woche 4 einen abgefangenen Pass über 85 Yards direkt in die Endzone.
