The Law Firm wants to get back in the NFL.
Citing an increased push by teams to sign and utilize power backs in their offense, BenJarvus Green-Ellis -- now 30 -- thinks there's room for him on an NFL roster in 2015.
"Oh, I'm ready," he said, via ESPN.com. "I've been training. I call them my 'Green-Ellis two-a-days.' I'm boxing, running hills, doing all kinds of football drills. For five weeks now, twice a day, working out like crazy. The Green-Ellis two-a-days."
Green-Ellis, who last played for the Bengals in 2013, spent his summer training in the Dominican Republic, which helped him battle a more intense climate and condition his body for the rigors of camp.
While his call will likely come after -- teams can sign him after Week 1 without guaranteeing a salary for the entire season -- Green-Ellis has a positive outlook for the season ahead.
He said his agent has been in touch with teams and he's received clearance from a doctor. The rest is out of his hands.
"I'm optimistic I'll get that call," Green-Ellis said. "Obviously, each team that's in the market is in the market for a certain type of back. But I know somebody out there has a need for what I can do. More than anything, I'm excited to get back out there and hit somebody."
While running style can be overrated, Green-Ellis has a lifetime yards per carry average of almost four and would make a nice fit for plenty of running back-needy teams.
Dallas, for example, could do worse than a player who has been as consistently productive and dependable.
