After spending just two seasons in the NFL, Antonio Gandy-Golden has decided to retire.
Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera revealed on Thursday that Gandy-Golden is retiring. The Liberty product plans on going back to school.
Gandy-Golden, 24, was selected by Washington in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He was an intriguing prospect coming out of college due to his production as a senior - 1,396 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns.
Unfortunately for Gandy-Golden, he was unable to develop into a playmaker at the pro level.
In 10 games, Gandy-Golden had just one reception for three yards.
Gandy-Golden converted from wide receiver to tight end during this offseason. The hope was that a position change could maximize his potential in the NFL.
Clearly, Gandy-Golden had other plans.
