Arizona Cardinals

Sherfield signed with the Arizona Cardinals as an undrafted free agent on May 9, 2018.[3] On August 23, 2018, during a preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys, Sherfield recovered a blocked punt for a touchdown. A week later, in a game against the Denver Broncos, he caught two passes for 44 yards.[4] Sherfield played in 13 games with two starts as a rookie, finishing with 19 receptions for 210 yards and one touchdown.

Sherfield was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list by the Cardinals on November 27, 2020,[5] and activated on December 2.[6]

San Francisco 49ers

Sherfield signed with the San Francisco 49ers on March 19, 2021.[7] After his preseason performance of 5 receptions for 156 yards and a touchdown over 3 games, Sherfield was officially listed on the 49ers 53-man roster going into the 2021 season. [8]

Miami Dolphins

Sherfield signed a one-year contract with the Miami Dolphins on March 18, 2022.[9] During a game against the Buffalo Bills on September 25, 2022, a failed punt in the endzone from Thomas Morstead bounced off Sherfield's posterior and out of bounds, resulting in a safety. The play later became known as the "Butt Punt". Nonetheless, the Dolphins ultimately won the game 21-19, also Miami's first win over Buffalo since the 2018 season.[10]

Overall, Sherfield surpassed his career highs in several categories, which were set in his rookie season, during his lone season in Miami. He caught 30 passes for 417 yards and 2 touchdowns.[11]

Buffalo Bills

Sherfield signed a one-year contract with the Bills on March 20, 2023.[12] Sherfield caught his first touchdown with the Bills against his old team, the Miami Dolphins, in week 18, off a deflected pass. The Bills would go on to win 21–14 to clinch the division title.[13]
