Professional career[]

Washington Redskins[]

Paulsen was signed by the Washington Redskins as an undrafted free agent following the 2010 NFL Draft. He was made the third-string tight end behind Chris Cooley and Fred Davis. Paulsen made his NFL debut in Week 3 against the St. Louis Rams. He scored his first career touchdown against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on December 12, 2010 on a one-yard pass from Donovan McNabb. At the end of the 2010 season, Paulsen played 11 games and recorded two receptions for 10 yards total and one touchdown.

During the 2011 season, against the Carolina Panthers, Paulsen caught two passes for 48 yards.[4] Late in the season, Paulsen was made the starting tight end with Cooley on injured reserve and Davis suspended.[5] Playing 16 games, starting six of them, Paulsen recorded 11 receptions and 138 receiving yards at the end of the season.[6]

By the start of the 2012 season, Paulsen was once again named the third-string tight end behind Fred Davis and Niles Paul. In the Week 7 game against the New York Giants, he had the best offensive performance in his career subbing in for Davis after the former tore his Achilles tendon early in the first half.[7][8] He would score his second career touchdown in the Week 11 win against the Philadelphia Eagles.[9]

Set to be a free agent in the 2013 season, Paulsen re-signed with the Redskins to a $4 million, three-year contract with another $3 million in incentives, on March 9, 2013.[10][11]

After it was announced that Paulsen would miss the entire 2015 season due to needing toe surgery, the Redskins placed him on injured reserve on August 16, 2015.[12][13]

On March 11, 2016, Paulsen re-signed with the Redskins on a one-year contract.[14] On September 3, 2016, Paulsen was released by the Redskins.[15]

Chicago Bears[]

On September 4, 2016, the Chicago Bears signed Paulsen to their active 53-man roster.[16]

San Francisco 49ers[]

On March 9, 2017, Paulsen signed a one-year contract with the San Francisco 49ers.[17] He was released on October 17, 2017, but was re-signed two days later.[18][19] On October 24, 2017, Paulsen was again released by the 49ers.[20] He was re-signed yet again on November 6, 2017.[21]

Atlanta Falcons[]

On March 21, 2018, Paulsen signed a one-year contract with the Atlanta Falcons.[22] In Week 4, in the 37–36 loss the Cincinnati Bengals, he scored his first receiving touchdown as a Falcon and his first overall since the 2014 season.[23]

On March 16, 2019, Paulsen re-signed with the Falcons.[24]
