re: David Woodley QB LSU

I did not know David well but I knew the Woodley family and can add some personal info:

His parents were devout Catholics and had 4 or 5 kids as I recall. So even though Dad was a lawyer they were not rich. All of the kids, including David were extremely intelligent and outstanding students.

None of the other kids besides David were athletes. The parents were not really interested in athletics. So, it was a strange situation for an NFL QB to grow up in.

David played for an very bad C.E. Byrd HS FB team. After he graduated they barely won a game a year.

The oddest thing his family told me was about his taste in music. He was a teen of the 60s when rock was big. The British invasion. Yet, he liked 50s music. Think hot rods, the big bopper and 'who wrote the book of love.'

His brain power is what caused him to start for Miami at such a young age. Shula said "I never saw a rookie QB absorb a playbook so fast."
