Newly reinstated LB Daryl Washington issued a statement to Pro Football Talk shortly after the news that he would be allowed to return to the NFL after missing the past three seasons.
“I’m honored and humbled to be back in the National Football League. These last three years have been the most difficult of my life without the game I love so much. That said, I’ve used this time to make tremendous strides as a man and have grown into a proud husband, father, and contributing member of my community.
“Physically I’m in the best shape of my life and have maintained a strenuous six-day per week workout plan for over a year in anticipation of this day and next season.
