==Professional career==
===Pre-draft===
Medina was considered either the second or third best receiver avilable, based on pre-draft projections.
===Draft===
Medina was selected with the 33rd overall pick in the 2015 NFLHC Draft. He was the third receiver selected, after Mike Tripplett and Richard Wilson.
===2015 Season===
Though David Gaines had made the Pro Bowl the previous year, Medina earned the #1 WR position for the Jets. Though he still made some plays long, with the Jets' QB problems he struggled slightly.
===2016 Season===
There was a lot of hype for Medina going into the season as the #1 target for Erik Wegert. Unfortunately, Medina disappointed as he and Wegert could not find a rapport and Medina was eventually passed by rookie 5th rounder Charlie Paul on the depth chart, in addition to second round rookie Jim Umenyiora.
===2017 Season===
Following his disappointing season, the Jets made Medina available in the 2017 NFLHC Expansion Draft. The Steelers selected him with the 15th pick of the draft, giving the Jets a 3rd round compensatory pick and re-uniting Medina with former QB Onterrio Smith.
