1975 Profile: Larry Woods

Defensive Tackle
No. 70

"Woods gave the Jets solid, veteran backup strength on the defensive line last year after being acquired from Miami in a trade during training camp and earned three starting assignments at right tackle. He had a standout game against Kansas City in the opener and had three sacks. Larry has good size and quickness for the inside position.
Larry came into the NFL as a 4th round pick of Detroit in 1971 and spent his rookie year on the Lions' taxi unit. He started 12 games for Detroit in 1972 under line coach Dick Voris. Larry went to Miami in1973 as a free agent and played in three games for the Dolphins.
Larry is the brother of Jets offensive tackle Robert Woods, making the first brother combo in Jet history. His hometown is Rogersville, Alabama."
