Boone, 29, signed on with the Vikings as an undrafted free agent out of Cincinnati back in 2018. He finished the final year of his three-year, $1.717 million contract but Minnesota declined to tender him a contract as a restricted free agent. 

The Broncos signed Boone to a two-year contract that includes $2.6 million guaranteed and a $1.6 million signing bonus.

From there, the Texans opted to sign Boone to a contract before he caught on with the Panthers ahead of the 2024 season. He was among the final roster cuts after training camp but shorty after re-signed to the practice squad before being signed to the active roster and released again.

In 2024, Boone has appeared in two games for the Panthers and rushed for seven yards on four attempts.
