Perspective
Pierce signed with the Toronto Argonauts on May 8, 2023.[3] Following training camp, he began the 2023 season on the practice roster, but made his professional debut on September 4, 2023, in the Labour Day Classic against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, where he recorded four defensive tackles.[4] Due to injuries to teammates DaShaun Amos and Robertson Daniel, he made his first professional start on September 15, 2023, against the Montreal Alouettes where he had eight defensive tackles.[4] He played in nine regular season games, starting in seven, where he had 32 defensive tackles, three pass knockdowns, one sack, one forced fumble, and three interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown.[5]
In 2024, Pierce was an opening day starter on defence.[6] However, inconsistent play led to his demotion to the practice roster in the team's fifth game of the season.[6] He returned as a backup in the following week and was a starter again for the three weeks after, but was again sent to the practice roster for the team's week 12 matchup against the Saskatchewan Roughriders.[6] He played in eight games, recording 29 defensive tackles and one sack before being released on August 31, 2024.[7]
