LaMarr Woodley makes ESPN frontpage
To cap off a great week of Michigan sports. Love it, the good press keeps rolling in.

I love Woodley, I'm cheering for him and Woodson at the super bowl everyone else can get hurt and they can play one on one and I will be happy
January 29th, 2011 at 3:28 PM ^
LaMarr Woodley kills people
January 29th, 2011 at 3:34 PM ^
After his long pro career is over he can join a swat team and kick open doors.
January 29th, 2011 at 3:33 PM ^
I love how he's just 26. He could easily maintain this high level of play for another decade.
January 29th, 2011 at 6:00 PM ^
Im not entirely sure he could do it for another 10 years that is pushing it somewhat, but yes he can definitely be good for a good time in the future.
January 29th, 2011 at 3:35 PM ^
He ate my baby and I thought it was awesome.
January 29th, 2011 at 6:57 PM ^
Who said "My only regret is that I have only one baby to feed to LaMarr Woodley."

The thing that stood out to me here is that I didn't even know Woodley's contract was up and he was only getting paid 550k this year. That's obviously a lot of cake, but how many guys with his production would be holding out, demanding a new deal, and making a big fuss about it in the press? I never heard a peep out of him all year. Take note, Darrell Revis. Woodley's a class act all the way.
January 29th, 2011 at 3:45 PM ^
exactly.
"If I'm going into this season worried about my contract, I'm not focusing on going to the Super Bowl and I'm not focused on this team," Woodley explained. "I would be selfish to think about myself and this contract situation and not focus on this team. I got guys on this team counting on me to play my best, and I'm not going to let them down."
That's Pure Michigan.

"Michigan Man" into words.* That is because it is hard to define. Sometimes, it can be easier to understand concepts using examples. Look no farther.
*Brady Hoke does not struggle with this.
January 29th, 2011 at 9:23 PM ^
He is also a class act all the way. Maybe there is someting in the water that makes these Michigan Men such honorable, team-loving guys.
January 29th, 2011 at 3:54 PM ^

Neither is my team but, I'll be cheering for the Packers so Woodson can get his ring. I believe he'd be the first player ever to win the Heisman, National Championship, Rookie of the year, Defensive player of the year and (hopefully) Super Bowl Champion.

Someone needs to let the writer know that Saginaw is nowhere near Detroit.
January 29th, 2011 at 6:24 PM ^
6-2 and 265 lbs
265 !!!!!! thank god for hoke and mattison, who will bring back the big LB and not the 210 lb guys. this is indicative of getting willingham who is at 240 and svelte. he can put on more weight.
January 29th, 2011 at 6:38 PM ^
You do realize that Woodley played DE in college right? And by his senior season Roh will probably be at about that weight too, and also likely playing DE?
And Crable, who is 6-5 like Roh (Woodley is only 6-2) was 245 his senior season.

LaMarr is a bad man with a kick-ass attitude. See this....
"If they thought their tackles did a great job [in the regular season], well, let's see if your tackles do a great job when it really counts. And it seems like when it really counts, we’re going to show up."
Seems like the attitude our D-line needs to re-capture.
January 29th, 2011 at 7:36 PM ^
Well, not directly...but watching him on TV when he wore blue did. My son tried to do everything that Woodley did in a game. Even now his goal in the weightroom is to get guns like Woodley. I promised that if he gets guns like that, I'll buy the Wolverine tattoo.
Woodley is the only reason I will watch the superbowl and root for the Steelers. Woodson is still the best college player I ever saw, but I get much more excited to watch the pure violence and aggression that Woodley brings with his game.
January 29th, 2011 at 11:43 PM ^
I think its a great match up that two of the greatest defensive Michigan players are playing in the super bowl against each other.
