DE8 - Lamar Woodley, Michigan	Official Bio NFL.com Profile
Height: 6-1 Weight: 266 40 yard dash: 4.77 Grade: 84
Strengths: A highly recruited prep at linebacker, Woodley played both defensive end and linebacker at Michigan. A first team All-American as a senior, he had 12 sacks. He is an aggressive player with a good motor who is an excellent edge rusher. He has greatly improved his pass rush techniques and uses his hands very well. He is the type of player who will consistently pressure the passer and will fight to get through blocks. He explodes off the line of scrimmage and once he gets moving, he is difficult to stop. Weaknesses: Woodley is shorter than ideal for a defensive end and subsequently struggles against double teams. He does not have the long speed or coverage skills to play linebacker full time in the NFL. He could play 3-4 OLB on early downs for some teams, but he probably projects best as a pure defensive end. His aggressive nature can be a problem at times as he will over pursue a play. Overall: Extremely productive at Michigan, Woodley must defeat sterotypes about his size. He projects to be an excellent NFL pass rusher but may run into concerns about his ability to play on every down. If he goes to a team with the right scheme, he should prove valuable because of his pass rushing skills.
