Seattle Seahawks
Jeffcoat was originally predicted to be drafted somewhere in the middle rounds of the 2014 NFL Draft. However, neither he nor any other member of the Longhorns team was drafted that year, the first time since 1937 that no Longhorns were drafted.[6] Jeffcoat signed with the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent. The Seahawks released Jeffcoat on August 25, 2014.[7]
Washington Redskins
On September 2, 2014, Jeffcoat was signed to the practice squad of the Washington Redskins.[8] He was promoted to the active roster on October 7,[9] but was waived three days later. The Redskins re-signed him to their practice squad again on November 13.[10] He was promoted again to the active roster on December 16.[11] In the Week 16 win against the Philadelphia Eagles that removed them from playoff contention, Jeffcoat recorded his first career sack on quarterback Mark Sanchez.[12] The following week, he had his first career start with Trent Murphy on injured reserve and recorded his first interception on Tony Romo in the Week 17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.[13]
