He didn't necessarily have to give up on the play, just not wave his hands to the QB as if saying "I'm open" because he should've known he wasn't eligible to touch the ball first; rather, since the QB was running, he could've blocked someone to clear space for another receiver to make the play, or clear a path for the ball carrier.

But really, at that point, in that situation, after being pushed out of bounds and knowing the rule, taking yourself out of the play is the smart thing to do. It has nothing to do with lack of effort.
