Woodhead speaks, joins Jets, all without leaving North Platte

Chadron State running back Danny Woodhead didn't get drafted this weekend, but he certainly made an impression on the talking heads during an interview Sunday:



It didn't take long for Woodhead to find a home in New York where, finally, he'll get the chance to play for Bill Callahan. (Memo to NFL Network: An entire state will pay $19.95 to see their first meeting live.)

Congratulations to Danny and congratulations to Chadron State. The school got the obligatory Dan Beebe reference in the above piece but what about fellow Eagle and the pride of my alma mater, Joe Planansky? He spent a few years on the practice squad in Miami and reportedly went to a party hosted by Dan Marino, featuring Hootie & the Blowfish.

That's the life of a professional football star, Danny. Enjoy it.
