Terence Damian Garvin (born January 1, 1991) is an American football linebacker for the Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for West Virginia, and was signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers as an undrafted free agent in 2013.
As a freshman at West Virginia in 2009, Garvin played in 10 games and finished with 10 tackles for the season. In 2010, Garvin started all 13 games and finished with 76 tackles. He started 11 games in 2011, but had knee surgery in December 2011. He played in 47 career games at West Virginia, registering 235 tackles, 10.5 sacks, and three forced fumbles. He also intercepted three passes, returning one for a touchdown, to go along with 11 passes defensed.
After going undrafted in the 2013 NFL Draft, Garvin wasn’t immediately signed as a free agent. He was invited to attend Pittsburgh Steelers rookie minicamp on a tryout basis and was signed to the 90-man roster on May 6. He was waived on August 31 and then re-signed to the team’s practice squad. On September 3, 2013, Garvin was signed to the active roster. He saw action against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 15 and gained notoriety when he broke the jaw of Bengals punter Kevin Huber with a hard hit during a runback for touchdown by Antonio Brown. The block was not penalized at the time, but was later ruled illegal by the NFL and cost him a $25,000 fine.
Garvin re-signed with the Steelers on a one-year contract on January 9, 2015.
On March 17, 2016, Garvin signed with the Washington Redskins.
On March 24, 2017, Garvin signed with the Seattle Seahawks.
