Miami Dolphins' Dion Jordan to apply to the NFL for reinstatement
Tuesday 31 May 2016 10:58, UK
Miami Dolphins defensive end Dion Jordan says he has learned from his mistakes and believes his football career is ready to take off.
He just needs the green light to start practicing and playing again.
Jordan, the No 3 overall pick in the 2013 NFL draft, failed a drug test in December 2014 and was banned indefinitely.
According to multiple reports, Jordan will apply for NFL reinstatement on Wednesday.
"I'm not about to waste it. I can't waste it. And I [expletive deleted] love doing it," Jordan told USA Today.
"Who doesn't love running out in front of 30,000-plus fans and you get that rush? But it's also things that you can get that rush from that can be very satisfying and can carry you on to a successful life after football."
Jordan's agent said he thinks the NFL will reinstate his client. Jordan hasn't missed or failed a drug test since his ban began in April 2015.
Jordan was suspended for six games in 2014 after positive tests for ecstasy and marijuana.
