Floyd still works out daily, not completely closing the door on playing again. But with the phone not ringing, it was natural to think about his next professional move.
A 6-foot-3 receiver who starred at Cretin-Derham Hall and Notre Dame, Floyd was the 13th overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft by Arizona.
