Woodson makes 'good statement' at Pro Day
By Chip Cosby
[email protected]
Andre Woodson has been one of the most heavily scrutinized players during the NFL Draft process. And after spending the past two months reading and hearing about how his stock has fallen, the former University of Kentucky quarterback is hoping for a strong finish leading up to the April 26-27 draft in New York City.
Woodson took a step in that direction at UK's Pro Day workout Wednesday morning. Woodson ran the 40-yard dash in a respectable 4.8 seconds despite battling a slightly pulled hamstring, and he looked sharp throwing the ball to former UK receivers Keenan Burton, Steve Johnson and Jacob Tamme as scouts from 25 NFL teams looked on.
"I think I made a good statement with the way I threw ball, and I think a lot of people noticed that," Woodson said. "All of my balls were accurate, and I think I did a good job of putting some power in it."
Woodson, who passed for 3,709 yards and 40 touchdowns with just 11 interceptions as a senior, was seen as a probable first-round pick for much of the season. But an inconsistent showing in the Senior Bowl led most analysts to drop him out of the first round.
Boston College's Matt Ryan is rated as the top quarterback in the draft, followed by Louisville's Brian Brohm.
Woodson is lumped in the next group of quarterbacks with Michigan's Chad Henne and Delaware's Joe Flacco. Woodson believes he can get himself back in the first round in the coming weeks.
"Hearing your name get bashed day in and day out for no reason is tough, but you've just got to stay hungry," Woodson said. "Everyone who's doubting me, I'm just going to go out there and prove them wrong and do what I have to do to be successful."
Woodson will conduct an individual workout with the Atlanta Falcons next week and will work out for several other teams before the draft.
One of the biggest criticisms of Woodson has been his release, which some have said is slow and contains a hitch. Woodson's motion looked smooth Wednesday, and he said the only change he's made recently is to hold the ball a little lower when he drops back to pass.
"My mechanics haven't changed, but lowering the ball when I'm holding it keeps me from lowering it on my release, and the ball goes a little higher and faster," he said.
UK Coach Rich Brooks said the criticism is just a part of the process.
"It's almost like running for president," he said. "Nobody's perfect. They're going to find every flaw or perceived flaw and tear you apart when you're at the level of Andre Woodson.
"But Andre has a two-year library of film that if anybody wants to put it on they'll see that this guy played as well as anybody in the country. There's no question Andre Woodson will be a starting quarterback in the NFL, and whoever doesn't get him is going to miss out in my opinion."

Son, the Jets made all these moves and are staring at battling the Bills for a Wild Card spot
Like all those moves, they made got them a lil bit better but nothing, IMO, put them over the top and made u say, Jets gonan do the damn thang.
Im still scratchin my head @ the Pace signing. Like where was this spending spree when John Abraham wanted $$$

Yeah the AFC is too tough...especially without a QB
They'll be much improved but I can't see better than 9-7.

I mean even guys like Kevin Mawae they've let go for monetary reasons, I jsut dont follow their strategy.
sidenote: where is TE the Jets got a few yrs back by tradinbg a 2nd rounder to the Raiders ?

It may be five pages later, but Lito isn't an elite CB? He may not be Champ, Samuel, or everybody's favorite AC, but he is definitely a top 5 CB whenhe's healthy. He has had some health problems, which understandably knocks down his trade value. We have 10 offers on the table right now, three of whichwe are seriously considering. The Eagles will hold out as long as possible for Fitzgerald because something has to happen over in Arizona. He eitherrestructures a new deal with probably the most guaranteed money in history, or he gets traded and restructures elsewhere. He's owed $32M over the next twoyears. The Cardinals are $15M under the cap and only have 34 players signed. They've already missed out on Faneca and other FAs. They have to have moneyfor their draft picks. Something will happen...........
And TKO just got cut, which saves us $5M in cap space. Maybe a trade is imminent.

Top 5 is a STREEEETTTCCCCHHHH Joka You got...
Champ
Asmohga (SP?)
Asante
Rashean

What's the point of cutting Spikes?
For their sake I hope they're just trying to renegotiate his deal and get him in at a lower number.
Who else the Eagles got at LB right now ?

So he can sign with the Patriots and get that ring. Although if I were the Pats I would stay away from him. Spikes is like the Shareef Abdur Rahim of theNFL.

Stewart Bradley becomes the favorite to start at middle linebacker for the Eagles following Takeo Spikes' release.
I know that if I looked across the line and saw this:
Looking back at me, I'd be pretty intimidated.
(yes, that is Stewart Bradleys picture)
(yes, he looks like a variant Napoleon Dynamite)

Hall is not better than Lito. Pleeeeeeease. Lito always steps up when it counts. The Cowboys can tell you that.
As for Spikes, Reid asked him to take a cut from $5M to $2M. He didn't want to so he got cut. JJ is happy with the LBs, but we're freeing up asmuch money as possible to bring in a WR.
