Despite a gruesome leg injury that cut his senior season short, it seemed like former Washington State quarterback Connor Halliday would get a chance to make his mark in the NFL. After going undrafted, Halliday signed a contract with the Washington Redskins on May 4 to provide depth on a roster that already includes Robert Griffin III and Kirk Cousins.

However, on the eve of Washington’s rookie minicamp, Halliday reportedly decided to hang up his cleats. Hours before beginning his first organized NFL team activities on Friday, Halliday left a voicemail for head coach Jay Gruden and told Gruden he was heading home, according to CBS Sports.
