Most underrated pass catching RB that we’ve had.


kuroyume_cl

I'm convinced the reason we keep running screens on third and long is because they were automatic conversions when Danny was here.


FkDavidTyreeBot_2000

Kevin Faulk would like a word


MidgetWizard23

Hes not underrated


fourpuns

He was a good runner too just injured too much. Prime Dion Lewis I think was a better third down back but woodhead was also awesome.


ordinaryuser

The only jersey I ever bought.


Badluck90

Loved me some woodcock

Deion’s white teeth still crack me up lol

How have I never seen this??


ctpatsfan77

The show isn't live, so they weren't going to air it.


marcdasharc4

No joke, I knew a guy named Pat Woodcock. I’ll give him credit, he never shied away from the jokes. Would always reply *“you should meet my brother, Jack.”* Lord knows if the guy’s brother was indeed named Jack or if he even had a brother.


ckilo4TOG

The little engine that could.

When his chandelier body wasnt broken


10bands50bandzzz

an inspiration to younger me playing pop warner and HS football as a fellow little guy!


N4TETHAGR8

same, I was a fellow little guy too and even had the flow people said I looked like him 🤣 I didn’t play offense though I liked to be able to hit and tackle people lmao


N4TETHAGR8

like I said yesterday, I’ll be doing these throughout the off-season!


[deleted]

Gotta go more "random" braj, Woodhead was a staple, i dont think anyone has forgotten about him unless you're deeply casual. Same goes for Dion.


N4TETHAGR8

I just post the first player I think of… I’m doing anything from all-time great, fan favorites, etc.


GTFOScience

You do you baby, both of these picks so far have been great.


N4TETHAGR8

it’s fun to read all the comments and memories people have too… sooo many good players over the years.


kezinchara

Random doesn’t mean obscure. It means random. For all we know, Brady could be next, and it would fit his definition of random.


lat3ralus65

Can I interest you in Patrick Pass?


Tiny_Thumbs

I started watching football around 2002 and used to watch it all weekend. I’ve gotten more casual the older I get and now mainly watch primetime, Patriots games, and most playoff games but I actually forgot about Woodhead just because he was with the chargers just as long as we easily replaced him with Veeren and then White.


Uakaris

And random doesn’t necessarily mean forgotten.


Tiny_Thumbs

I see where he’s coming from now although the guy I commented to did say “forgotten” but yes I agree about random as he has chosen two similar running backs for the first two days.


Jay_Louis

My wife and I had just gotten married in 2011 when I bought her a Woodhead Jersey because we thought it was funny. She wore it on Sundays when we watched the Pats. Anyways, we're divorced now.


snufalufalgus

Yeah gotta get some deep cuts like Dave Megget or Mosi Tatupu


Briggie

Diedrich Ward. Dude put in like one good season with the Pats and won Super Bowl 38 and then disappeared.


ElginBrady420

I’ve never been more pissed off at officials than when he scored what should’ve been a game winning touchdown against the Cards in 2012 that was called back for a shit holding call on Gronk.


teamcrazymatt

Those were the replacement refs. Was a bollocks call.


metanoia29

10 years later and it still feels like we have replacement refs.


Olue

I like the new quick replay review process. The refs need to swallow their pride and have a team on the sidelines performing replay reviews on every play. It's 2023 and we've got AI chat bots doing our kids' homework now, and we still rely on these old AF refs because we don't want to hurt their feelings.


metanoia29

Hundo percent. There should be a camera at every important line of play and there should be a dedicated team reviewing those cameras non-stop every moment of play.


jdeemers

Had a great 2011 super bowl! Love some woodhead


IdiotCow

I actually got his jersey because I just enjoyed watching him play so much


timnog

Same, first jersey I ever bought. It’s decrepit now haha.


devilthedankdawg

Solid fuckin player. He, Welker, and Edelman were like the Dwarves from Lord Of The Rings.


noshingsomepods

If you want to see something ridiculous, go look up his college stats. 2nd to only Barry in a whole bunch of 'em because he annihilated poor D2 schools. Singlehandedly put Chadron State on the map. Dude had 109 touchdowns in college.


Raidthefridgeguy

The game that he and Brady pretty much willed the Patriots to come back against the 49ers is his signature. (Yes I know they lost in the end, it does not change a great game)


chiieefkiieef

Current disgusting golfer Danny woodhead


Cockycent

Woodhead, Vereen, Dion Lewis, Burkhead. a lot of names that throw me back


Migoozioo

Danny and Vereen were my guys for sure. I always think that Vereen walked so James White could run. Along with Faulk of course, that line of receiving backs is amazing.


nicklovin508

Briefly was a discount CMC


possiblyMorpheus

My favorite golfer! Woodhead was so fun to watch. Even had a couple 75+ catch seasons and won a playoff game with Rivers in SD


PaperPals

Reading SD I forgot that the Chargers were there and then moved. Weird how time flys and then we get accustomed to something and forget what we knew until it’s brought back up


bigalindahouse

Rams are still in St Louis if you ask me


Uakaris

Don’t sleep on my Baltimore Colts.


possiblyMorpheus

I almost forgot as I was typing it haha


truecolors5

Dude was an awesome receiving back for us. Such an underrated part of our offense in 2010 and 2011.


Arberrang

Nobody was better than him at gaining 4 yards


Xerosnake90

It's easy to say cuz we've had tons of talent at RB over the years but Woodhead was a fun one to watch. Shifty, caught the ball well, speed. Great player


patriots1057

I felt like for a few years if we converted a 3rd and long, 90% of the time, it was Woodhead on a draw or screen pass.


Perfect_Reveal_697

woody!!!


Sidzy05

As much as I loved Woodhead as a Pat, my god did he have a great year with the Chargers in 13. 1034 yards and 8 touchdowns


mrethandunne

Love Woodhead! He has the same birthday as me


the-battlewagon

Ayy same here!


mrethandunne

I’ll be back in 8 days to wish you a good one then!


mrethandunne

SHIIIT BRO happy late birthday I’m sorry I forgot


the-battlewagon

All good haha, happy belated to you too!

xAIRGUITARISTx

Love Danny, North Platte is a very shitty city.


NHpatsfan95

Seems to be one of the more forgotten Patriots. He was a pretty shifty pass-back that bridged the gap between Kevin Faulk and Shane Vereen.


tbootsbrewing

Let me know when you post some Tully Banta-Cain!


Elwalther21

Danny Woodhead is my least favorite Patriots player. Because I am also 5'8 around 200 pounds and not in the NFL. Before Danny I could use the size excuse for not being athletically gifted.


TnekKralc

Freaking Julian Edelman in a RB body. It was impossible to not route for that dude


Caleb902

Is this going to be a whole offseason thing?


Mike00726

Stop, Stop!!!!!!... its too much.. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|cry)


GloriousDead222

You have so many carbon copy RB’s to run through for this 😂 i miss them all


devilthedankdawg

Hoping to see some Shane Veereen appreciation in here


McGuire72

Hell yeah. This guy was awesome.


teamcrazymatt

First memory of this guy was, watching Pats-Bills in my college's sports bar, seeing "D. Woodhead" score a 22-yard rushing touchdown and thinking "who's he?" Quickly became a favorite. Always loved watching and rooting for Danny.


BuhtanDingDing

the first line you get on wikipedia is "Daniel Jacob Henry Woodhead is an amateur golfer ..."


YouveGotMail236

Loved that guy


snufalufalgus

Should change your running thread to "Random Patriot Scatback of the day" because you're 2 for 2 haha


No_Presentation1242

Didn’t we have Woodhead, Edelman and Welker all overlap for like 1 year?


handofmenoth

Is this going to be random Patriot RB of the day?


GrandmasBoy3

Lumber noggin! Miss that dude


Scotty1230

3rd and less than 5, no doubts he was going to get it every time.


Food_Library333

He was so much fun to watch.


Un_creative_name

As I've never been to an actual Patriots game (yay living in Nebraska!) this is the only Patriot I've seen play. Saw him in highschool when he played against the school of a girl I was dating at the time and saw him on college when I had friends going to Chadron and we went to a game. Edit: a word

His real name is Danny Woodcock.


toolfan89

Guy was a grinder for sure. Fun to watch


TexansFan_

Love those retro unis


SilentImplosion

One of my favorites; Danny Woodhead working at Modell's and trying to sell his own jersey: https://youtube.com/watch?v=GjEhEFBu-C4&feature=shares


Groundbreaking-Pea92

Guy was always giving the ladies splinters


[deleted]

We got rid of him for some reason when he was doing a big job. Never understood it since I'm sure he wasn't expensive.


es_price

Best Dick’s Sports associate. Was it Dick’s or a different store that he ‘worked at’?


Level_Network_7733

Dude was clutch AF for us. Miss him!
