It's good that he shared his story and part of me feels bad for him, but part of me doesn't feel bad for him. He had his shot at the NFL, and just quit. It'd be one thing if he truly gave it everything he had, but he straight up just quit before rookie camp even started.
Some guys just aren't cut out for the NFL. It's unfortunate he 'majored in football' at Washington State.
Quote:He spent nearly two weeks at the Redskins facility in Ashburn, Virginia, ingesting coach Jay Grudens playbook. Like a law school grad cramming for the bar exam while his mind is plagued with self-doubts about practicing law, Halliday was easily distracted. Mentally and emotionally, he had tapped out. On the eve of the three-day rookie training camp, he bought a one-way ticket home.
I felt bad about not telling coach Gruden face-to-face, says Halliday. But I also felt like they told me that they were going to draft me, and then they didnt.
