Professional career
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. 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. He was then placed on the injured reserve list on September 3.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. On October 8, he was signed to the team's practice squad, but was cut on October 23.
