Transcript

Danny Woodhead. Where are they now? Not to be corny, but Danny Woodhead's from Rank, where he was homeschooled to hit a golf ball, a scratch golfer with an itch to play college football. But, Caleb, where is he now? Well, if you thought his team with the patriots had a lot of white guys, you should have seen his college. They were Chadron State. Woodhead set the NCAA all time rushing record while at Chadron, but this eagle had a higher calling to the skies by better. But the question was, where is he now? Well, New York couldn't get it done because they only had Woodhead, Rank Sanchez, Ladanian Thomason, Ladero Rivas, Antonio Cromartie, Jason Taylor, Santonio Holmes, Braylon Edwards, Bart Scott, Nick Mangold, and tier Richard Shaw Ferguson. So Woodhead is tier patriots where he caught a Super Bowl touchdown of four yards, which is the same amount of yards he now owned back home in Nebraska. But where is he now? Modern day. But Woodhead's battery was drained after leaving the chargers. And after a ten year career, he flipped the bird and retired a raven. And he soon realized swinging the golf club was like riding a bike, in that it would get him where he wanted to go as he reached the final qualifying round of the two thousand twenty two US Open. But I know what you're thinking. Caleb, where is he now? Let's call him. I'll tell you what, that, that's a handsome mustache. You think? No. I I know. I wish I wish I didn't know, but I do. Dude, where are you, by the way? Dog, I'm in Omaha, Nebraska. I was at Schill's. I have a I have a golf event tomorrow for the US four ball.
