OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Maurice Clarett sidestepped questions about his past in his first comments since signing with Omaha's United Football League team, saying he wants to discuss what lies ahead.

The former Ohio State star said Wednesday that he hoped but was unsure he would be given a chance to play again. He said his legs are fresh and he's confident he can be successful once he readjusts to the rigors of football.

Clarett hasn't played in a game since helping lead Ohio State to the 2002 national championship. He broke NCAA rules for accepting gifts, lost a bid to enter the NFL after his freshman year, got cut by the Denver Broncos once he was drafted, and then served 3½ years in prison for his role in a robbery.
