Dallas Cowboys

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]

Chicago Bears

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

St. Louis Rams

On December 11, 2012, Radway was signed to the St. Louis Rams' practice squad. He was waived on August 26, 2013.[12]

Los Angeles Kiss (AFL)

On November 1, 2013, Radway was assigned to the Los Angeles KISS of the Arena Football League. He was placed on reassignment on July 8, 2014, after recording 20 receptions for the KISS.

Calgary Stampeders (CFL)

On January 21, 2014, he was signed by the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League.[13] He was cut on May 8.[14]
