Washington excused from Jet's OTA's to be with fiancee as she gives birth
Quote:
Dave Hutchinson of the Newark Star Ledger reports Jets running back Leon Washington was a no-show Wednesday for the team's organized team activity and coach Rex Ryan couldn't praise Washington enough for the wisdom of his decision.
Washington's fiancee, Charity, went into labor Tuesday night and he went to be at her bedside. She had a baby boy, Noel, Wednesday morning.
"I think Leon made a great decision because I missed my second kid (Seth) being born and it's hard to get over that,'' said Ryan. "Everytime it's his birthday, my wife gives me a different look. And I was at an OTA, too, (in Arizona as a young assistant with the Cardinals under his dad, Buddy Ryan and battling questions about nepotism). It was a stupid decision. It was probably my biggest regret in coaching. It was a great move by Leon.''
