Pleasants, 26, wound up going undrafted out of Ohio back in 2020. He later signed a rookie contract with the Jaguars but was waived coming out of the preseason and later added to their practice squad.

The Jaguars brought him back on a futures contract before cutting him loose in 2021 and he bounced on and off the Panthers’ practice squad from there. He signed with the Chargers in November of last year but was among their final roster cuts coming out of this year’s preseason. He’s had stints on the Bears’ and Cardinals’ practice squads this season. 

For his career, Pleasants has appeared in one game for the Panthers.
