A three year starter for LSU, LSU hall of fame,and started for the Miami Dolphins in Super Bowl 17. Why does no one ever talk about this guy?
Part of the reason is he split time with our current TE coach at LSU. John Riggins' great run at the end of Super Bowl XVII ended his chance at adding that to his resume - and the guy who replaced him as the starter for the Dolphins was a guy named "Marino" (or something like that.)
David had demons, one of which was alcohol. He didn't handle getting demoted and struggling the rest of his career. Once he quit playing football, any incentive for him to control his drinking was gone, as was his liver by 1992 and his life by 2003 - at the ripe old age of 44.
I enjoyed watching him play - and hearing my dad bitch about something called a "2-QB system", which I had previously not heard of.

Woodley was an enigma. Very introverted and a complex person. He would get booed in favor of Ensminger (Central High School, home town hero). Woodley was from North Louisiana. (Hardly would matter in todays game, but for some reason it mattered back then). Woodley was a more mobile quarterback. Ensminger was the drop back passer.
When the OP brought up Woodley's name, I immediately though back to an article I had read about him years ago after his passing. Googled the article and found it, interesting read.
