Dallas, 27, most recently played for the Carolina Panthers after being drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft out of Miami . In four years with the Seahawks, Dallas carried the ball 112 times for 468 yards and four touchdowns. He caught 61 passes for 396 yards and a receiving TD.
Dallas also has experience as a return specialist, tallying 39 punt returns in his career for 367 yards, while he's tallied 83 kick returns for 2,071 yards and a touchdown (2024, Arizona Cardinals ) in 81 games played.

After spending four years with the Seahawks, Dallas played for the Arizona Cardinals (2024). In 2025, Dallas played in three games with the Panthers, playing on the team's practice squad for most of the year, operating primarily on special teams.
The Jaguars brought in Dallas after it was reported that rookie back Bhayshul Tuten will miss some time, in need of surgery to repair an injury to his finger. Tuten was one of the team's primary kick return specialists, so Dallas could operate in a similar role.
