The then-Oakland Raiders made Key a third-round selection out of LSU in 2018. He registered 15 tackles, two tackles for a loss, 11 quarterback hits, and two passes defensed through 14 games in 2020, per Pro Football Reference.
The Raiders waived Key on April 15. The 24-year-old defender has recorded 49 tackles, three sacks, and two passes defensed through his three NFL seasons.
