Baltimore Ravens

2020 season

Duvernay was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in the third round with the 92nd overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft.[13]

Duvernay made his NFL debut in Week 1 against the Cleveland Browns and recorded a 12-yard reception in the 38–6 victory.[14] In Week 3 against the Kansas City Chiefs, he recorded a 93-yard kickoff return for his first career touchdown in the 20–34 loss.[15] In Week 5 against the Cincinnati Bengals, he had a 42-yard rush on a jet sweep to go along with two catches for 17 yards as the Ravens won 27–3.[16] He had three catches for a season-high 45 yards in a 17–23 Week 10 loss to the New England Patriots.[17]

2021 season

Duvernay had a slightly more active role at the beginning of the 2021 season due to injuries to Miles Boykin and Rashod Bateman. In Week 2 against the Chiefs, Duvernay recovered a fumble by teammate Ty'Son Williams at the Kansas City two yard line and scored a touchdown. The Ravens would win 36–35.[18] The next week against the Detroit Lions, he had first career receiving touchdown on a 19-yard reception in a 19–17 win.[19] In Week 9 against the Minnesota Vikings, Duvernay recorded his second receiving touchdown on a five-yard reception that he caught one-handed. The Ravens would win 34–31 in overtime.[20] Duvernay was selected to his first pro bowl as a return specialist at the end of the season.

2022 season

The trade of Marquise Brown during the offseason setup Duvernay to be a full-time starter at wide receiver along with Rashod Bateman. He recorded his first multi-touchdown game of his career in 24–9 win Week 1 over the New York Jets, finishing the game with four receptions for 54 yards and two touchdowns.[21] The next week against the Miami Dolphins, he returned the opening kickoff 103 yards for a touchdown. He also had two receptions for 42 yards, but the Ravens would lose, 38–42.[22] He was placed on injured reserve on December 20, 2022, after suffering a severe foot injury during a practice session.[23] Duvernay finished the season with a career-high 49 catches for 407 yards and three touchdowns and was selected to his second pro bowl as a return specialist at the end of the season.

2023 season

The signings of Odell Beckham Jr. and Nelson Agholor, the drafting of Zay Flowers, and the return of Rashod Bateman regulated Duvernay back to being primary as a return specialist. He suffered a back injury in Week 14 and was placed on IR shortly thereafter.[24] He was activated off IR on January 10, 2024.[25][26]

Jacksonville Jaguars

On March 13, 2024, Duvernay signed a two-year contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars.[27]
