The New York Jets selected Tannen in the first round (20th pick overall) of the 1970 NFL Draft, and he played for the Jets for five seasons from 1970 to 1974. As a rookie, he blocked a punt, recovered the ball and scored against Buffalo in 1970. A series of muscle pulls idled him in 1971. Shoulder injuries slowed him, but he managed to play in 13 of the games and led the team in interceptions with seven during the 1972 season. In 1973 he managed to start three games at free safety and spent the bulk of the season as backup man at either safety or at cornerback since he had experience at all positions. During his five-year NFL career, Tannen played in 64 games and had 12 interceptions with 204 return yards. He was also a standout special teamer, and blocked two field goals and a punt.
