Former University of Hawaii and current Washington Redskins quarterback Colt Brennan is back in town.

Brennan worked out at UH earlier today.

He will be the special guest on Tuesday's WarriorBeat Show. Show time is 11 a.m., not the normal noon time start. The show's hosts are Stephen Tsai and Leila Wai.

Brennan, who weighed as little as 185 before NFL scouts at the Senior Bowl, now weighs about 218. He was as heavy as 225. The team wants him to report at around 212 pounds.

Brennan, who underwent hip surgery before becoming the Redskins' sixth-round draft pick in the 2008 NFL draft and later had knee surgery, was the No. 3 quarterback for the Redskins. Behind starter Jason Campbell and veteran Todd Collins.

Having two surgeries in a year and being force-fed food, it didn't really help out," Brennan said.

Brennan said his knee is "getting better every week. By the time camp rolls around, I probably will have forgotten all about it."

The Redskins signed Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel to a free-agent contract after he went undrafted in 2009. Daniel and Brennan both were Heisman Trophy finalists in 2007, the year that Florida quarterback Tim Tebow won it.

But Brennan is looking to move up on the depth chart. Brennan said if Campbell does well, "then basically I'll be competing for the No. 2 job."
