Gesicki was the second-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft and spent his first five seasons with the Miami Dolphins, totaling 260 catches for 2,861 yards and 20 touchdowns through his first 98 career appearances.
In the 2023-24 campaign, Gesicki totaled 29 catches for 244 yards and two scores over 17 games last season for the New England Patriots, with whom he signed a one-year deal last off-season.
