Washington Redskins

Rambo was selected by the Washington Redskins in the sixth round (191st overall) of the 2013 NFL Draft.[5] He signed a four-year contract worth roughly $430,788 per year on May 13, 2013.[6][7] At the start of season, he was named the starting free safety. Due to his poor performance in the first two games, he not only lost his starting position, but was benched for several games.[8] He returned to the field in Week 8 against the Denver Broncos due to the suspension of Brandon Meriweather.[9] The Redskins waived Rambo on September 16, 2014.[10]

Buffalo Bills

Rambo signed with the Buffalo Bills on November 17, 2014, after the Bills had placed cornerback Leodis McKelvin on injured reserve.[11] Rambo had two interceptions off of Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers on December 14, 2014.

On November 12, 2015, Rambo contributed significantly during a Thursday night win against the New York Jets. Rambo forced two fumbles, one of which was returned by Duke Williams for a touchdown, the other recovered by Rambo himself. Rambo also had the game-sealing interception off of Ryan Fitzpatrick with less than a minute remaining in the 22-17 win.[12] As a result of his performance in Week 10, Rambo was named AFC defensive player of the week.[13]

Miami Dolphins

On October 25, 2016, Rambo was signed by the Miami Dolphins.[14]
