Marcell Frazier may be playing defense but the 6-foot-5, 256-pound defensive end from Missourie showed some great hands in the Seattle Dragons’ 17-9 victory over the Tampa Bay Vipers Saturday.
Frazier pilfered a pass at the Tampa Bay 1 and waltzed into the end zone for a touchdown in the second half. After a successful two-point try from the 5-yard line on a Brandon Silvers pass to Keenan Reynolds, the Dragons had a 14-9 lead with 5:31 left in the third quarter.

The XFL and the Dragons may be new to pro football, but the team showed it knows what to do after a Pick-6. They scored the 17 points in a row after falling behind by nine.
