Former Cardinals UDFA Marvin Pierre selected in XFL draft

Linebacker Marvin Pierre signed with the Arizona Cardinals after he was not selected in the 2023 NFL draft. He played collegiately at Kent State.

His stint with the Cardinals didn’t last long, as he was released on June 8 after the team was awarded a waiver claim for cornerback Kyler McMichael.

However, he has a new opportunity. He was selected in the XFL draft last weekend by the Houston Roughnecks.

Pierre now will get to be coached by Wade Phillips, a legendary defensive mind.
