Badet, 26, signed with the Vikings as an undrafted free agent after the 2018 draft. He spent the entire 2018 season on the Vikings’ practice squad and returned to Minnesota on a futures contract in 2019.
The Vikings waived Badet coming out of the preseason and he later signed on to Washington’s practice squad. Badet spent most of the next two seasons on Washington’s practice squad before the team released him in May.
The Falcons signed him to a one-year deal back in June.
In 2020, Badet appeared in three games for Washington. He is yet to record a reception in the NFL.
