IRVING, Texas -- For the first time since Marquess Wilson Youth Jersey signing with Dallas in March, defensive end Greg Hardy spoke at length Tuesday, but not about the incident that led to him missing 15 games last season with the Carolina Panthers and the first four games this season with the Cowboys. "In the last few seasons, man, honestly, it's been a blur just getting ready to come back," Hardy said in a roughly 10-minute interview session, surrounded by reporters at his locker. "And now that I'm back, I don't reminisce. I don't look back, other than to know that I need to get forward, I need to get to progress and I need to get to sacks, and I need to get to the place where I need to be to help this team. That's where we're at right now." In April, the NFL suspended Hardy 10 games 49ers Arik Armstead Womens Jersey for what it called multiple violations of the league's personal conduct policy stemming from an incident involving a former girlfriend. Hardy initially was found guilty by a Mecklenburg, North Carolina, district judge of assaulting and threatening to kill Nicole Holder and was given a 60-day suspended sentence and 18 months' probation on misdemeanor charges. He filed an immediate appeal seeking a jury trial, and charges eventually were dismissed when Holder refused to cooperate with law enforcement after receiving a settlement. In July, Hardy saw his 10-game suspension reduced to four games by arbitrator Harold Henderson, who ruled the penalty was too harsh when the baseline for cases under the personal conduct policy is a six-game suspension. He chose not to seek further reduction through the courts and accepted his punishment. Asked whether he had a message for those who do not believe he deserves a second chance, Hardy said, "God bless you. That's the message." Asked what he learned about himself during the process, he said, "I'm a really good pass-rusher when I put my mind to it. I had a good offseason and a good camp. We were all there. I got to be a part of the group and got to get off the ball with a good group of defensive ends and some defensive tackles and get back to the swing of things. That feeling right there is more than anything that could've happened to me." Asked whether he had any remorse or http://www.bearsofficialnflprostore.com/Authentic-Marquess-Wilson-Jersey regrets, he said, "I'm sorry I couldn't be here for my teammates. The worst feeling in the world is not being there for somebody you care about or somebody that needs you. That's what we need, a full team, and everybody pulling their load. And that's what I'm going to do when I come back." Before signing Hardy to a one-year deal, which does not include any guaranteed money, the Cowboys said they investigated Hardy's background by talking to former coaches he has had along the way. Cowboys defensive assistant Turner West was a high school teammate of Hardy's at Briarcrest Christian School in Memphis, Tennessee.
