On the one-year anniversary of his arrest, Michael Floyd reflected on his ups and downs of the past 12 months and expressed gratitude that the Minnesota Vikings helped him turn his life around.

On Dec. 12, 2016, the former Cardinals wide receiver was arrested in Scottsdale, Arizona, when police found him asleep at the wheel of his Cadillac Escalade. He was taken into custody for driving under the influence and released by the Cardinals two days later. The Patriots then claimed Floyd off waivers on Dec. 15. He played in three games but was inactive for Super Bowl LI.

Floyd went back to Arizona in February to serve 24 days in jail after pleading guilty to an extreme DUI and was put on house arrest for a subsequent 96 days.

The Vikings signed the St. Paul native to a one-year deal in the offseason, taking a chance on the receiver.

Floyd was suspended for the first four games of the season for violating the league's substance abuse policy. Since his return in Week 5, the receiver had made nine catches for 78 yards.
