A Summary of Antonio Callaway’s Problematic NFL Career
Antonio Callaway's NFL career has been marred by various off-field issues. He has been involved in incidents such as using a stolen credit card, possessing marijuana, and driving with a suspended license. In 2018, he paid fines for the license violation, although the drug charges were dropped.
Callaway faced a four-game suspension in 2019 for violating the league's substance abuse policy and was subsequently released by the team due to tardiness to practices and meetings. He joined the Miami Dolphins' practice squad in 2020 but served a three-game suspension and had it extended by four more games. Although he made it to the active roster briefly, he was eventually relegated back to the practice squad.
In 2021, Callaway briefly signed with the Kansas City Chiefs but was waived with an injury designation, leading to an injury settlement. The Cowboys then signed him to their practice roster and later a reserve/futures contract in January 2022.
Despite his off-field troubles, Callaway had shown promise early in his career. The Cleveland Browns selected him in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft, and he played 16 games during his rookie season, recording 43 receptions for 586 yards and five touchdowns. However, his production declined in subsequent seasons, and he has not caught a regular-season pass since 2020.
During his time with the Cowboys, Callaway was vying for a spot in a receiving corps that includes CeeDee Lamb, Amari Cooper, and Michael Gallup. However, he did not participate in the last two organized team activities.
