Anderson has not been given another chance to get back into the league so he decided to stand outside the Houston Texans stadium with a sign asking for a job, KPRC-TV reported.
Anderson posted a photo of himself holding the sign on his Instagram page.
The sign reads "Not homeless but starving for success. Will run routes 4 food."
His Instagram photo caption read in part: "I'm outside the Houston Texans facility every morning because I kno [sic] what type of gift God has blessed me with! [...] I'm not just chasing greatness for myself/family but for all the people that lack faith and wanna [sic] quit..."
Anderson plays wide receiver and graduated from Texas Southern University after transferring from Louisiana Tech. He attended Texas High School in Texarkana.
