Joshua Caleb Gordon, born April 13, 1991, is an American former professional football wide receiver known by his nickname 'Flash'. He played for the Baylor Bears during his college years and was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the second round of the 2012 NFL Supplemental draft.

During the following years, he shifted between various teams including the New England Patriots, Seattle Seahawks, Kansas City Chiefs, and Tennessee Titans. After facing further substance abuse violations leading to suspension in 2020, he returned in 2021 with the Kansas City Chiefs and Tennessee Titans.
