After a very successful college career, cash was supposed to be collected in the second or third round of the 2016 NFL Draft, but it didn’t happen because it was not collected in the NFL Draft that year.

The Carolina Panthers later signed him as a free player without draft after about twenty other teams offered him a spot on their team. He preferred the Panthers to all others. The franchise provided 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 or five times in one day and soon gained 16 pounds. Throughout the preseason, he played in special teams and kick and punt transmissions, but as soon as the regular season began, all linebacker roles were taken over by proven veterans. Cash had a calf injury in September and was put on the injury reserve, and the following month the team fired him.
