Arizona Cardinals edit
Sherfield signed with the Arizona Cardinals as an undrafted free agent on May 9, 2018.[3] On August 23, 2018, during a preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys, Sherfield recovered a blocked punt for a touchdown. A week later, in a game against the Denver Broncos, he caught two passes for 44 yards.[4] Sherfield played in 13 games with two starts as a rookie, finishing with 19 receptions for 210 yards and one touchdown.
Sherfield was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list by the Cardinals on November 27, 2020,[5] and activated on December 2.[6]

The play later became known as the "Butt Punt". Nonetheless, the Dolphins ultimately won the game 21-19, also Miami's first win over Buffalo since the 2018 season.[10]
Overall, Sherfield surpassed his career highs in several categories, which were set in his rookie season, during his lone season in Miami. He caught 30 passes for 417 yards and 2 touchdowns.[11]
