Claypool in 2020

Claypool was selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second round, 49th overall, in the 2020 NFL Draft as the team's first selection. Although eligible as a Canadian and rated as the No. 2 prospect, Claypool went undrafted in the 2020 CFL Draft.

On July 22, 2020, the Pittsburgh Steelers signed Claypool to a four-year, $6.61 million rookie contract that includes $3.28 million guaranteed and a signing bonus $2.37 million. On September 20, during Week 2 against the Denver Broncos, Claypool finished with three receptions for 88 receiving yards, including an 84-yard touchdown, as the Steelers won 26–21. In Week 5, against the Philadelphia Eagles, Claypool finished with 110 receiving yards and four total touchdowns (three receiving & one rushing), both career highs, as the Steelers won 38–29. With his Week 5 effort, Claypool became the first Steelers rookie in franchise history to score four touchdowns in a game, and the first Steeler since Roy Jefferson in 1968 to do so. His performance helped the team start out with a 4–0 record for the first time since 1979. On October 14, Claypool was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week for his performance in Week 5. In Week 10, against the Cincinnati Bengals, he had four receptions for 56 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns in their 36–10 victory. In the Wild Card round of the playoffs against the Cleveland Browns, Claypool recorded 5 catches for 59 yards and two touchdowns during the 48–37 loss.

Chicago Bears

Claypool was traded to the Chicago Bears on November 1, 2022, in exchange for their second-round pick (32nd overall; later used to select Joey Porter Jr.) in the 2023 NFL Draft.

He was intensely criticized for a low-effort performance in the Bears' 2023 season opener against the Green Bay Packers. It was reported on September 17 that Claypool had apologized for this to his teammates and coaches. By week 4, Claypool expressed frustration with the Bears and stated that he did not believe the coaching staff put him in a position to succeed. The Bears deactivated him before their week 4 matchup against the Broncos, and activated Equanimeous St. Brown in his place. Claypool had been told by the team to stay home during the Denver game, and was later told not to return to their facility while they searched for a trade partner the following week. The team had instructed him to remain at home the following week as well, while they won in a Thursday Night Football road game (their first win since October 24, 2022) against the Washington Commanders.

As a Bear, he appeared in ten games, recording 191 receiving yards and one touchdown on 18 receptions.

Miami Dolphins

On October 6, 2023, the Bears traded Claypool and a seventh-round selection in the 2025 NFL Draft to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for a sixth-round selection in the 2025 NFL Draft. In Week 8 vs. the New England Patriots, Claypool caught 1 pass for 15 yards, his first reception with the Dolphins.
