Mike "The Joystick" Washington posted solid numbers in his rookie campaign, catching 114 passes for 1367 yards and 30 TD's. he also saw some time at kick returner late in the season, adding 18 returns for 397 yards and a TD.
If you followed Power football last year, you'd know Washington was a huge part of the offense, and one of the team's biggest weapons. Getting him back in the fold certainly had to be a top priority for the Power.
I'd love to see the team bring back Lonnell DeWalt and Jason Willis on offense as well. I also think they need to try and land another big time receiver and have four viable options in the passing game.
According to reports from 93.7 The Fan, Quarterback Bill Stull will return for 2012 as well, and will likely get first crack at the starting gig. Last year's starter Bernard Morris will not return to the team. Seeing how the season unfolded with Morris at the helm, this might be best for all parties involved.
I'm not QUITE sold on Stull as the starter, and would love to see the Power bring in someone with a little more AFL experience even if they end up serving as backup to Stull.
Also back in the fray for 2012 will be defensive back Bryan Williams who joined the team late in the season.
It's going to be interesting to see what players get signed by Pittsburgh, especially after tryouts on October 1st. Check out the Power's newly redesigned website for all the details.
