Link: Leon Enjoying a More Mobile Lifestyle
It sounds like Leon spent the day with his teammates on Monday, and was spotted by the press in Florham Park on a certain personal mobility vehicle.
The popular Washington, whose injury was so serious he had to have emergency surgery immediately following the game and stayed behind in the Bay Area for a couple of days, was using a motorized scooter-type vehicle to get around.
Washington hasn’t spoken publicly since the injury and he wasn’t available for comment yesterday.
“I’ve spoken to him since his injury and he’s in good spirits,” right tackle Damien Woody said. “Leon is a competitor. Knowing Leon, he’s going to rehab the hell out of this thing and he’s going to be back next year ready to go.”
Glad to hear that Leon is doing well, and that he’s back spending time with the team. No word on whether he was popping wheelies or has yet to pimp his ride with a rebuilt chainsaw engine.
What wound up happening with the “Get Well Leon” campaign? Did it ever make its way to Leon?
Good question! I’ll ask. I passed it to his fiancee and to the Jets PR staff.
Just saying, im sure he would appreciate it. Thanks for checking up on it.
Is there a rule against Rascals in the NFL? Can he use one on kick returns. I don’t see the big deal.
I’m all for a get well Leon campaign. In fact, if there were something fans could wear to show support – like a white headband or armband for him, that would be great!
get well leon thats a good idea cant wait to see him back in action
eduardo a soccer player with arsenal in the english premier league had a similarly horrific injury in feb 08 and he has been back playing for some time. whether the leg is as strong and what mental scars remain… well probably only the player himself really knows…
leon i wish you all the best and hope one day you will pull on the green and white again..
