From the Baton Rouge Business Report (www.daily-report.com): Thanks for the memories: Former LSU and NFL quarterback David Woodley died Monday at his home in Shreveport at the age of 44, according to the LSU Athletic Department. The cause of death was not immediately known and funeral services were still pending. Woodley was part of a two-quarterback system with Steve Ensminger under late head coach Charles McClendon from 1977-79, taking the Tigers to three consecutive bowls in the final years of McClendon's career at LSU. After LSU, Woodley went on to play five seasons in the NFL, four with the Miami Dolphins and one with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was the starter for the Dolphins in Super Bowl XVII, leading Miami to a 17-10 halftime lead over the Washington Redskins, before the Redskins rallied in the final 10 minutes for a 27-17 victory.
I never knew David Woodley personally but he and I are alums of the same high school in Shreveport. It's a day or mourning for both LSU and Byrd High School.
