Report: Connor Halliday to try out with Kansas City Chiefs

If you had "no way is Connor Halliday actually walking away from football forever" in the betting pool, it looks like you win!

Connor Halliday appears ready to resume his quest to become a professional quarterback by trying out with the Kansas City Chiefs, according to a report from Cougfan.com.

Halliday mysteriously "retired" from football back in May after abruptly leaving Washington D.C., where he was scheduled to begin his career as an undrafted free agent with the NFL team there. While it seemed hard to believe at the time that he could be totally recovered from his awful broken leg and still just give up the game, Halliday offered no explanation, and Mike Leach even said at Pac-12 media days that Halliday really had just walked away.
