==Professional career==
Pass was drafted by the Patriots as a running back in the seventh round of the [[2000 NFL draft]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=2000 NFL Draft Listing |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2000/draft.htm |access-date=2023-03-19 |website=Pro-Football-Reference.com |language=en}}</ref> He spent two weeks on the Patriots' practice squad in [[2001 New England Patriots season|2000]] before being activated. In his first start on November 19, Pass played as a running back, wide receiver, and special teamer, recording 39 rushing yards, 16 receiving yards, and two special teams tackles. In the [[2002 New England Patriots season|2002]] off-season, Pass put on 35 pounds and made the transition to fullback, where he would start for the [[2004 New England Patriots season|2004]] team. In [[2005 New England Patriots season|2005]], with top rusher [[Corey Dillon]] injured, Pass would see time as a running back, recording a career-high 245 rushing yards that season. However, Pass himself would miss time in 2005 with a hamstring injury suffered against the [[Buffalo Bills]] on October 31. In [[2006 New England Patriots season|2006]], Pass continued to struggle with the injury, being placed on the [[Physically Unable to Perform]] list, and being limited to just three games before going on injured reserve. Pass also saw time as a kick returner in his time with the Patriots, returning 36 kickoffs for 745 yards.

Pass signed with the [[Houston Texans]] before the start of the [[2007 NFL season]]; the Texans released him on August 29, 2007. Pass was signed by the [[New York Giants]] on November 20, 2007, playing in one game before being released on November 27, 2007.

After spending the [[2008 NFL season]] out of football, Pass signed again with the Patriots on June 4, 2009. He was released a week later, on June 11 and retired from the NFL.
