D.C. Defenders Roster (XFL Football)
The D.C. Defenders are back with the XFL, although they'll have a little different look on and off the field. The Defenders were part of the league's relaunch in 2020, going 3-2 before the XFL ceased operations due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Featuring a different logo, a fresh roster and led by head coach Reggie Barlow, a former NFL wide receiver, the Defenders are eager to make noise in the XFL North Division.
