Last week, it was Seattle Dragons cornerback Jeremy Clark — the former Wolverines safety-turned-cornerback — who reeled in the big interception for the XFL Seattle Dragons squad.
On Saturday, it would be his former teammate in maize and blue getting the jump.

In 2016, Clark and Channing Stribling started the season on opposite sides of the field, playing cornerback for the Wolverines with Jourdan Lewis held out with injury the first two games. Now, together in the XFL, they’re showing why teams shouldn’t pass on the defensive back teammates that once oversaw the nation’s pass defense.
As mentioned, Clark pulled in the interception last week, but this week, with the Seattle Dragons hosting the Dallas Renegades, Stribling got into the act, reeling in a pick of his own.
That said, maybe XFL teams should just not pass against Seattle.

This comes the same day as their former running back teammate, De’Veon Smith, had a highlight play of his own, making an over the shoulder grab while maintaining possession, despite a huge hit.
