Professional career

After going unselected in the 2015 NFL Draft, Dunbar was considered one of the top undrafted free agent wide receivers available.[1] He signed with the Washington Redskins on May 11, 2015.[2] Due to camp injuries to cornerbacks on the roster, the team moved him to cornerback.[3] On September 5, he was waived during final roster cuts before the start of the regular season,[4] but signed to the team's practice squad the next day.[5] On September 29, 2015, he was promoted to the active roster.[6] On November 29, 2015, he had his first career interception after he intercepted Eli Manning of the New York Giants in the end zone.[7]
