"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Undrafted rookie quarterback Connor&amp;nbsp;Halliday&amp;nbsp;has retired from football, just before the start of Washington Redskins&amp;nbsp;minicamp&amp;nbsp;on Friday, reports &lt;em&gt;The Washington Post&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;ESPN's John Keim&amp;nbsp;reports Halliday \"lost his love for football.\"&amp;nbsp;Halliday signed with Washington after going undrafted out of Washington State but is not currently with the team.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Halliday thrived in Mike Leach's pass-heavy offense at Washington State and was the nation's leading passer last season when he suffered a gruesome ankle injury on Nov. 1. He was regarded as a talented passer but went undrafted due to concerns about his injury and his ability to adjust to NFL-style offenses.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In 35 games with the Cougars, Halliday completed 62 percent of his passes for 11,304 yards and 90 touchdowns.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Read Connor Halliday's mother's essay for The MMQB&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Washington has three quarterbacks under contract: Robert Griffin III, Kirk Cousins and Colt McCoy. The team also brought in undrafted rookies Hutson Mason and Anthony Neyer on tryouts.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Dan Gartland&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
