Quarless was selected by the Green Bay Packers in the fifth round of the 2010 NFL draft and later won Super Bowl XLV with them over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

At the end of the 2010 season, Quarless and the Packers appeared in Super Bowl XLV against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
He suffered a season-ending knee injury in a 4th quarter kickoff return in the 38-35 win against the New York Giants on Sunday December 4, 2011.
