Josh Gordon made a decision to get back on the football field, and did so in a huge way.
On Saturday, Gordon made his debut with the Zappers in the Fan Controlled Football League and wasted no time scoring on his first drive of the game.
He finished the game with four receptions for 70 yards, two touchdowns and a two-point conversion.
He also had the game-winning hail Mary catch to end the game.
Gordon summed up his night with one tweet after the game.
“Welp…that was fun,” he wrote.

Johnny Manziel, Gordon’s former teammate with the Cleveland Browns, also plays in the league, although he missed Saturday’s action due to dental surgery.
“[The league] reached out, Johnny hit me up, and they told me, ‘[It’s] football. Do you want to play football right now?’” Gordon told the league website after Saturday’s game. “It’s the offseason for the NFL. As opposed to sitting at the house, I want to come out here and make some plays and have some fun, and most importantly be a part of something bigger than myself, bigger than football.
“I think it’s like passing the game down to guys younger than me. Guys that might have questions about how the game is played at the next level. If I can impart some wisdom, that’s what I’m here to do.”
