“I was in the gym,I was just lifting weights and didn’t have my phone on me,” Amone told theHerald. “After one of my sets,Hook[Griffin] came down and called me out of the gym and into his office.
“He said he had good news for me … that I was eligible to play. A lot of weight lifted off my shoulders. I’m now able to do what I want. It was tough at times but the people I have around me have been there for the whole thing. I never doubted that I was going to get back on the field,it was just the time frame on it. I wanted to get back as soon as possible.
