Byrd, 30, wound up signing on with the Panthers as an undrafted free agent out of South Carolina back in 2015. He bounced on and off their active roster until signing a one-year deal with the Cardinals in March of 2019

He signed a one-year deal with the Patriots for 2020 and signed another one-year deal with the Bears in 2021. From there, Byrd joined the Falcons on a one-year contract for the 2022 season before catching on with the Panthers this offseason. 

Carolina placed Byrd on injured reserve and he was later released with a settlement before catching on with Atlanta.

In 2023, Byrd has appeared in one game for the Falcons, but has yet to catch a pass.
