The New England Patriots drafted Berrios in the sixth round of the 2018 NFL Draft with the 210th overall pick. He was placed on injured reserve that season, but he was awarded a Super Bowl Ring after the Patriots defeated the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LIII.

After the Patriots waived Berrios the following summer, he was claimed off waivers by the New York Jets. He scored his first career NFL touchdown with the Jets on a 30-yard reception against the San Francisco 49ers.

The Associated Press selected Berrios to its NFL All-Pro Team in 2021.

Berrios re-signed with the Jets in 2022, inking a two-year, $12 million contract. However, he was released by the Jets in March 2023. Shortly thereafter, he signed a one-year deal with the Miami Dolphins. He played in all 16 games for the Dolphins in 2023, catching 27 passes for 238 yards and a touchdown.

Prior to the 2024 season, Berrios re-signed with the Dolphins. However, he is currently on injured reserve after tearing his ACL against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 7.
