Garrett (6-4, 245) has spent time with the Rams (2021-22), Vikings (2022) and Seahawks (2023) in his NFL career. He was originally selected by the Rams in the seventh round (252nd overall) of the 2021 NFL Draft out of Concordia University St. Paul and played one game as a rookie with Los Angeles. Garrett most recently played in the UFL with the St. Louis Battlehawks where he was named the league’s Special Teams Player of the Year after blocking two punts while also totaling 22 tackles, two forced fumbles and one sack in seven games.
