### Baltimore Ravens

[edit]

Tandon Doss was selected in the fourth round with the 123rd overall pick of the 2011 NFL draft by the Baltimore Ravens.[2] He was the fourth player selected by the Baltimore Ravens in 2011, and second wide receiver behind the second round selection Torrey Smith from the University of Maryland. Despite a strong preseason, Doss had no catches in the 2011 season. Doss caught his first career receiving touchdown in Week 7 of the 2012 season against the Houston Texans. However, the Texans would win that game 43–13. Doss earned his first NFL Championship by virtue of the Ravens winning Super Bowl XLVII,[3] but was waived from the team on August 31, 2013. When Doss was waived by the Baltimore Ravens, he was worked out by the Green Bay Packers, but Doss left with no contract. Tandon Doss was later re-signed to the Baltimore Ravens on September 9, 2013. On his 24th birthday, during Week 3 of the 2013 season, against the Houston Texans, Doss returned a punt 82 yards for a touchdown.

### Jacksonville Jaguars

On March 18, 2014, the Jacksonville Jaguars signed Doss for a two-year deal worth $1.505 million.[4] The Jaguars placed Doss on injured reserve on August 29, 2014, with an ankle injury.[5]

He was waived on August 29, 2015 as part of the first preseason roster cuts.[6]
