Michael Floyd thanks Patriots, Vikings for 2nd chance after DUI arrest

A year ago Tuesday, Michael Floyd was arrested on DUI charges after being found passed out at the wheel of his car with the vehicle still running.

Floyd, who received a 120-day jail sentence (the majority of which he served under house arrest), took to Instagram on Tuesday to reflect on what he calls "the biggest mistake of my life" and thank the New England Patriots and Minnesota Vikings for taking a chance on him.

On ‪December 12, 2016 I was arrested for the biggest mistake of my life. I lost my dream job and thought I ruined my career. Two days later I was blessed with a second chance from the New England Patriots. I gave the Patriots everything I had and was again blessed to be part of their Super Bowl team. From the highs of the Super Bowl, I traveled back to Arizona to serve out my jail sentence. After some really difficult times I was blessed again and the team I grew up rooting for decided to take a chance on me. I couldn’t be more thankful to the Vikings and look forward to taking all of my experiences to help this team continue to be successful. Looking back on the past year I have experienced both the highest highs and the lowest lows. I would like to thank the Patriots and the Vikings for taking chances on me and for everyone else who has helped me over this past year. A year after making the biggest mistake of my life, I can honestly say, I’m a better person from it all and hope to continue to do and be better. #dontlosefaith #keeppushin
