He played two seasons for the New England Patriots (2013-14), appearing in 28 games with 23 starts. He totaled 79 tackles (40 solo) and nine sacks in those two seasons before missing 2015 due to injury.

Doughty was the first of Miami’s two seventh round selections (223rd overall) in the 2016 NFL draft.
