Here are some of the Guardians players you may know:

MATT MCGLOIN: Matt McGloin was once a standout at Penn State He started seven games during his career in the NFL -- four seasons with the Oakland Raiders, but never got the starting role he craved.

LUIS PEREZ: Luis Perez will be McGloin’s backup. He might be notable because he was the quarterback of the San Antonio Commanders and the Birmingham Iron of the Alliance of American Football last year. The Los Angeles Wildcats initially signed Perez but traded him to the Guardians before the start of the 2020 season.
