    Dickson was regarded as one of the best tight ends available in the 2010 NFL Draft.

    Baltimore Ravens

    Dickson was drafted in the third round (70th overall) by the Baltimore Ravens. The pick was one of three that the Ravens acquired in a trade with the Denver Broncos on the first night of the draft on April 22. The Broncos received a first-round pick which was used to select Tim Tebow. Dickson signed a three-year contract on July 2, 2010.

    As a backup to veteran Todd Heap, Dickson pulled in 11 receptions, 153 yards, and one touchdown. However, the following year marked big changes for Dickson. Heap was released, and Dickson found himself in a battle with Dennis Pitta for the starting job. Also, Dickson switched from #83 to #84 after Lee Evans became a Raven. Dickson was the main starter in 2011, and caught five touchdowns.

    During the Ravens Super Bowl championship season in 2012, Dickson saw his role in the passing game decrease in favor of Pitta, though he often found himself on blocking duty.

    During the 2013 season, however, Dickson was the starter for most of the season as Pitta suffered a hip fracture injury before the season began.

    Carolina Panthers

    On April 10, 2014, Dickson signed a one-year deal with the Carolina Panthers.

    Dickson signed a three-year, $6.8 million contract extension on March 11, 2015.

    During the 2015 season, the Panthers won 15 games, which set a team record for victories.

    On February 7, 2016, Dickson was part of the Panthers team that played in Super Bowl 50. In the game, the Panthers fell to the Denver Broncos by a score of 24–10.
