Chicago Rush News Release
Chicago Rush WR/LB Etu Molden was named to the Arena Football League's All-Ironman team, the AFL announced today.
Molden (6-2, 195, Montana), who recently signed a contract extension that will keep him in Chicago through 2007, finished the year as the team's leading receiver, catching 96 passes for 1,158 yards and 25 touchdowns â numbers almost identical to the 101 catches, 1,280 yards and 23 TDs he registered in his All-Rookie season last year. In addition, Molden scored four rushing touchdowns, added 28 tackles and tied for the team lead with three interceptions.
"Etu truly is a complete Arena Football player, excelling in all three phases of the game â offense, defense and special teams," said Rush head coach Mike Hohensee. "He is one of the toughest players in the league and deserves his spot on the All-Ironman team."
