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.

He played in 25 games in two seasons (2021-22) at Kent State and recorded 149 tackles (86 solo), 11 tackles for a loss, 2.5 sacks, an interception and two forced fumbles.
