Tampa Bay Buccaneers
After going undrafted in the 2020 NFL draft, Leverett was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on May 5, 2020. He continued to be a member of the team, predominantly on the practice squad, until January 27, 2021. Leverett was briefly waived and later resigned onto the practice squad on February 10, 2021. However, this caused Leverett not to be a part of the team that won Super Bowl LV, which was on February 7.[7] Leverett was activated onto the active roster at the outset of the Buccaneers week 1 game against the Dallas Cowboys due to linebacker Cam Gill being placed on injured reserve.[8]
New England Patriots
After four seasons with the Buccaneers, Leverett signed with the New England Patriots on March 15, 2024.[9][10]
