"This is an exciting time for me to be part of football again at a high level," said Crouch, who will wear No. 9. "I think I'm as ready as I have been," Crouch said. "I'm very confident my body will be in football shape by the first game."

Crouch was a third-round draft pick of the St. Louis Rams in 2002. He was with three NFL teams but never played a regular-season game and last played in 2006, in the CFL. But lately the dude has been selling playground equipment and medical supplies.
