New England Patriots

Garcia was drafted by the New England Patriots in the third round, 85th overall, in the 2017 NFL Draft.[2] After leaving an August 9, 2017, training camp practice early,[3] Garcia did not return to practice and did not play in any preseason game. On September 2, Garcia was placed on the reserve/non-football illness (NFI) list.[4] In March 2018 it was revealed that Garcia had developed blood clots in his lungs; the resulting inability to practice led his weight to drop by at least 40 pounds.

On May 11, 2018, Garcia was released by the Patriots.[5]

New York Jets

On May 14, 2018, Garcia was claimed off waivers by the New York Jets.[6] He was waived on August 31, 2018.[7]
