Cleveland Browns

Nacua was signed by the Cleveland Browns as an undrafted free agent on May 4, 2017.[2][3]

Throughout training camp, he competed for a roster spot against Justin Currie and Trey Caldwell. On September 3, 2017, the Browns waived Nacau and signed him to their practice squad the next day.[4][5] On September 8, 2017, Nacua was promoted to the active roster.[6] Head coach Hue Jackson named Nacua the backup strong safety behind Derrick Kindred to start the regular season.[7]

He made his professional regular season debut in the Cleveland Browns' season-opening 21-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. On December 3, 2017, Nacua made his first career tackle during a 19-10 loss at the Los Angeles Chargers.[8] In Week 14, Nacua earned his first career start after Derrick Kindred suffered a wrist injury the week prior. Nacua recorded a season-high five solo tackles during the Browns' 27-21 loss to the Green Bay Packers. He finished the season with 14 combined tackles (12 solo) in 16 games and three starts.[9]

Nacua was waived by the Browns on April 30, 2018.[10]
