The Facts:
Chadron State RB Danny Woodhead, the NCAA's career rushing leader, signed a free-agent deal with the Jets on Sunday night, according to the player and his agent. Terms of the deal for the two-time Harlon Hill Trophy winner were not immediately disclosed, and the Jets would not confirm the signing. "I'm more than happy with what I got," Woodhead, who ran for 7,962 yards in four seasons for the Division II school in western Nebraska said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Agent Chris Gittings said he thought the Jets were a good fit after teams passed on the 5-7 Woodhead during the draft, mostly because of his size. Woodhead, who wasn't invited to February's scouting combine, was impressive during his pro day in Lincoln, running a 40-yard dash that was timed between 4.33 and 4.38 seconds, recording a vertical jump of 38.5 inches and bench-pressing 225 pounds 20 times. ... He'll be competing for a roster spot at a position that already includes Thomas Jones, Leon Washington and Jesse Chatman.
