Dallas Cowboys

[edit]

Radway was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Dallas Cowboys after the 2011 NFL draft on July 28, because he had an excellent size/speed ratio.[3] He was a pleasant surprise during training camp and had his roster spot assured, until September 1, when in the last preseason contest against the Miami Dolphins, he suffered a broken left fibula and tibia after leaping for a catch during the last 3 seconds of the game.[4] He was then placed on the injured reserve list on September 3.[5][6]

The injury slowed his development and was eventually waived on August 27, 2012, after he was passed on the depth chart by younger wide receivers Cole Beasley and Andre Holmes.[7] On October 8, he was signed to the team's practice squad, but was cut on October 23.[8]

On October 30, 2012, Radway was signed by the Chicago Bears to the practice squad.[9][10] He was released on November 27.[11]

Los Angeles Kiss (AFL)
