Week 3: Three XFL players the New Orleans Saints should sign
Terence Garvin, St. Louis Battlehawks
Terence Garvin is a 6-foot-2, 221-pound linebacker who currently plays for the St, Louis Battlehawks.
Garvin, 29, played his college football for West Virginia where he accumulated 235 tackles, 10.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, three interceptions, and eleven passes defended. The college star went undrafted in 2013 but ended up making the Pittsburgh Steelers roster.
Garvin has played for five NFL teams in his career including the Pittsburgh Steelers, Washington Redskins, Seattle Seahawks, Miami Dolphins, and San Francisco 49ers. He has totaled 77 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles.
Garvin joined the AAF in 2019 where he totaled 24 tackles, one sack, one forced fumble, six passes defended, three interceptions, and a defensive touchdown in eight games with the Orlando Apollos.
Also given a Defensive Player of the Week award in week one of the AAF season, Garvin has been a key figure for the St. Louis Battlehawks defense this year with 18 tackles, three tackles for a loss, and one sack over the span of three games.
Adding an experienced linebacker to the Saints defense would be great given the potential exit of AJ Klein. The Saints lack depth at the linebacker position and Terence Garvin could be a great role player. He likely wouldn’t ask for much, and he certainly has a sky-high ceiling.
