1974 Profile: Robert Woods

Guard
No. 72
Tennessee State
"Woods won the starting left tackle slot after four games last year, improving week by week. He's slated for a move to right guard this year to fill the spot left vacant by Dave Herman's retirement. The coaches feel his potential is enormous and he is a major factor in the rebuilding of the offensive line. Line coach Bob Fry says, 'Woods has the potential to be a great star. He just kept getting better and better as the year went on.' Woods does a fine job of pass protecting, learning the pro fundamentals steadily.
Robert was drafted No. 2 in 1973 and has been a student teacher in the off-season. He's the brother of Larry Woods, defensive tackle of the Miami Dolphins and formerly of Detroit. Robert played on three championship teams at Tennessee State. His hometown is Rogersville, Alabama."
