Panthers extend homegrown defensive lineman Karlis Brauns

The Wroclaw Panthers will continue their journey with homegrown lineman Karlis Brauns as they prepare for their first season in the American Football League Europe. The 32-year-old Latvian remains an important part of the team and brings valuable experience to the roster.

A true veteran across Europe

Karlis Brauns is a proven veteran and a true journeyman of European football. During his career, he has played not only in Latvia, but also in Serbia, Finland, Germany, and Poland.

His wide range of experience in different leagues and football cultures has shaped him into a reliable and disciplined defender.

Consistent presence at a high level

Brauns was already part of the Panthers roster last season and has spent the past five years competing at a high level in European professional football, including time with the Wroclaw Panthers and the Frankfurt Galaxy.

During that period, he appeared in 56 games and recorded 225 tackles, 26.5 sacks, 39 tackles for loss, two pass deflections, two forced fumbles, and one fumble return.

These numbers underline his impact on the defensive line and his ability to consistently pressure the quarterback.

Experience for a new challenge

As the Panthers enter their first season in the American Football League Europe, they count on Brauns to continue delivering strong performances. His experience and leadership are expected to play an important role for the Polish franchise.

With Karlis Brauns on the roster, the Panthers keep a proven homegrown player who is ready to give everything for the team in this new chapter.
