Houston Texans running back Ryan Moats said on ABC’s “Good Morning America” that he hopes Officer Robert Powell was sincere in his apology.

Powell, who has been placed on paid leave pending an investigation, issued a statement Friday through his attorneys.

“I wish to publicly and sincerely apologize to the Moats family, my colleagues in the Dallas Police Department, and to all those who have been rightfully angered by my actions on March 18, 2009. After stopping Mr. Moats’ vehicle, I showed poor judgment and insensitivity to Mr. Moats and his family by my words and actions,” Powell’s statement said.

Tamishia Moats said she’d like to hear the apology personally, but that she, too, would definitely accept it.
