Rhein Fire strengthen defensive front with E-import Diego Paz

13.03.2026•12:00

Rhein Fire have added another piece to their defense by signing Spanish defensive lineman Diego Paz. The 22-year-old will join the team as an E-import for the upcoming season.

A rising defensive talent

Over the past three years, Paz has built a strong reputation in European football. During that time, he played for the Barcelona Dragons, the Madrid Bravos, and most recently the Raiders Tirol.

At each of these teams, Paz established himself as a reliable defender who can consistently make tackles and draw attention from opposing offensive lines.

Strong numbers in recent seasons

Across the last three seasons, Paz appeared in 30 games and recorded 51 tackles, five sacks, 12 tackles for loss, one pass breakup, and one forced fumble.

These numbers highlight his ability to disrupt plays and pressure opposing offenses.

Expected impact in the Fire defense

Rhein Fire hope that Paz will bring strong pressure to opposing quarterbacks and be an important presence against the run.

With his energy and physical style of play, the young defender is expected to strengthen the Fire defensive front in the upcoming season.
