Johnny Jolly Applies For NFL Return
Oct 31, 2014 1:28 PM
Johnny Jolly, who hasn't played in the NFL since 2009 due to an indefinite suspension for drug charges, told a website that he has applied to commissioner Roger Goodell for reinstatement.
Jolly was granted 10 years of "shock probation" in May by a Houston judge, just six months after he was sentenced to prison for violating terms of his probation for a drug conviction.
"I know that the NFL doesn't need me," Jolly told the National Football Post. "I need it way more than it needs me. I really want to be a part of it and I am hoping to go back and show that I am a good reliable citizen that the league and others can depend on and trust."
