NFL Career

After a very successful college career, Cash was projected to be drafted in the second or third round of the 2016 NFL Draft but that didn’t happen as he went undrafted in the NFL Draft that year.

The Carolina Panthers would later sign him as an undrafted free agent after about twenty other teams offered him a space on their team. He chose the Panthers over them all. The franchise intended for Cash to play a hybrid linebacker role, a role that has recently become quite popular among NFL teams.

To prepare for the position, Cash ate about four to five times in a day and soon gained extra 16 pounds. He played on special teams and on kick and punt coverage throughout the preseason but once the regular season began all the linebacker roles were taken by proven veterans. Cash had a calf injury in September and was placed on injured reserve, and by the following month, the team released him.

The New York Jets signed him on their practice squad in October and released him the next month (November). That same month, he was signed on by the New York Giants, which waived him on December 19th. On December 20, he was claimed off waivers by the Cleveland Browns, which released him in March 2018.

Arizona Cardinals claimed him off waiver in March 2018. In August he was placed on reserve after suffering a torn ACL and MCL during the preseason.
