30-year old running back Ricky Williams has decided to heed the call of his former team and return to the Miami Dolphins. Williams was recently reinstated after an 18-month drug related suspension, and was asked by head coach Cam Cameron to return to the team almost immediately.
When asked by the media what his motivation was for returning, Williams responded as follows:
"My motivation is to get my life going again. Being out of football in the situation I was in makes it difficult, you know? I want to create a better life for myself and for my family, and being a football player, for me, is a big part of that."
Somehow I think what he's really saying is that he couldn't really find a lot of money doing drugs and nothing else. Either way, he'll be back on the roster Monday, and the Dolphins, struggling through a winless season, couldn't be happier for it. The real question is whether or not the aging player is going to really turn it around for them.
