Even though Dye impressed scouts at the combine running a 4.39 he went undrafted in the 2015 NFL Draft and was signed as an undrafted rookie on May 11, 2015.[1]
He caught his first pass, a touchdown, on October 25, 2015 in Tampa.
On December 17th, playing against the St Louis Rams, Dye caught a 44-yard reception inside the 5-yard line and began to celebrate, even though the play was still live.[2] As a result he fumbled the ball and was criticised for his lack of concentration.
