Seriously, this kid -- who is going to set the NCAA all-division rushing record -- is a LASER. I love stories like this.

Spurned by Division I programs because of his size — he was 5-foot-8 and about 175 pounds as a freshman — Woodhead is drawing attention from the NFL. Scouts from the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles have visited Chadron the past few days, and more are coming.

"You're looking at something you're never going to see again," said Chadron State coach Bill O'Boyle, whose Eagles are 2-0. "I don't think it's set in with any of us. We'll look back down the line and go, 'Jiminy in heaven, what did we have here?"'

Former Montana State coach Mike Kramer, who watched Woodhead rush for 215 yards in Chadron State's 35-14 upset of the I-AA Bobcats last year, told the Omaha World-Herald, "I'm just going to tell you right now: If he was at Nebraska, he'd be the starting tailback."

"His vision and his ability to accelerate are probably the best I've ever seen," Chadron State running backs coach John Reiners said. "Those are things you just don't coach. He might be the only guy I've actually ever seen who, while in the air, made a move. West Texas A&M in our playoff game. He's up in the air and his body is moving sideways.

I don't know how he did it."

To answer your question: Stranger things have happened. Brady has how many rings having played backup at Michagan for most of his college years? Jerry Rice and Walter Payton played for what college teams again? Mississippi Valley State and Jackson State?

But OTOH if Adrian Peterson played healthy four solid years for Chadron State, instead of Woodhead, how many yards do you think he could have put up? He put up those kind of numbers in Texas HS which arguably could be comparable to D-II. :thumbdown:

P.S. No results searching his name on You Tube. The guy must not exist! Neither does Chadron State! :bag:

Josh.: What is your current height, weight and workout numbers?Danny: I am guessing my height is around 5'7 1/2, my weight the pro day was 194 and my current weight is 202, and my 40 is a 4.41. My vertical was either 32 1/2 or 33 the last time we did it. My bench press was 18 reps the last time we did it. I want to say 4.1 or below but I can't remember. The last time I did it was on an indoor track. I don't know honestly what my time is now. I know I have been timed in the low 4s.

I don't get how is 40 is 4.41 and then what this 4.1 indicates?
 
Actually there are like 5 threads on this guy.

Why not this one.

Sooooo... Woodhead looked good with the Jets.

But now with Black Bill he sure looks like he's with a team that wants him and knows how to use him.

Gotta love good coaching.

I remember reading a quote from Hoodie a couple of years ago where a reporter asked him why he went out and got guys like Sammy Morris and Wes Welker - guys who werent exactly household names (not that Morris really was), but he replied something to the effect of (obviously, I'm paraphrasing here), "I always hated playing against those guys, so when the chance came up to get them, we did.".

Now, obviously Woodhead was never featured by the Jets, but Hoodie et al must have seen something there.

It would not surprise me at all to see Woodhead become a regular part of the Pats offense, as well as fantasy-relevant.

I've picked him up on any dynasty roster I have a "why the hell not?" spot open. He could pay off more than or about the same as guys like Sproles, Huggins, etc.. If he doesnt, no big loss.

*shrug*

 
Woodhead did everything he could and more with the Jets. Every time he got more than a couple of touches, he played really well. The truth is the Jets refused to give up on their 4th draft pick, McKnight, I blame egos in the CS and FO, and they released the wrong guy. He is a real life Rudy. The Jets got him strictly as TC fodder, and he kept sticking based on his smarts, skills, quicks and work ethic.

Maybe the puker McKnight will work out. I don't know if I hated another Jets player cut more than the Woodhead cut. He deserved to stay, and to play. Rex Ryan's biggest mistake.
