The Facts: Woodhead’s second season in San Diego ended with a broken leg in the third game of the season, leaving Woodhead with an extended rehab period that he says left him even hungrier to succeed on the field than he was when he was trying to get his foot in the door. “It’s been a long process,” Woodhead said. “I’m always excited, but my mentality might even be younger and hungrier than ever before.”
Diehards Line:
With Ryan Mathews now in Philly, the depth chart at running back in San Diego features Woodhead, Branden Oliver and Donald Brown. As PFT suggests, an addition in the draft seems likely, but Woodhead’s pass catching ability should lead to a significant role in the offense again this season.
