In total, Gordon spent portions of five seasons with the Cleveland Browns. During his time there, the second-round supplemental pick recorded 180 receptions for 3,106 yards and 16 touchdowns. Additionally, Gordon also received his lone Pro Bowl selection in 2013.
Gordon joined the New England Patriots on a one-year contract during the 2018 season. During his two years in New England, Gordon played in 17 games and recorded 60 receptions for 1,007 yards and four touchdowns. Gordon’s tenure in New England was cut short due to a knee injury, as head coach Bill Belichick released Gordon outright off of the injured reserve.
Throughout the course of his career, Gordon has recorded 240 receptions for 4,113 yards and 20 touchdowns. Additionally, Gordon has accumulated 89 rushing yards on six career carries.
