Offensive Tackle
No. 72
Tennessee State
"Robert has been a regular at left tackle for three years and has started 38 straight games. A painful broken rib against the Redskins in the preseason did not hamper his continual improvement. He enjoyed a solid 1975 season, his 'best since coming with Jets' according the coaching staff.
He comes off the ball quickly for a man his size and is a strong, reliable one-on-one blocker. Pass protection is his biggest area of improvement. Woods could play guard if necessary because of his speed, quickness and ability to pull to the outside.
Drafted No. 2 in 1973, he started 10 games as a rookie. His durability will make him an asset for many years.
Woods is a Senior Bowl product where he was coached by the Jets staff. He made AP Little All-America and played in the College All-Star Game.
A student teacher in the off-season, he's the brother of former Jets defensive tackle Larry Woods, now playing for the Seattle Seahawks. Robert played on three championship teams at Tennessee State. His hometown is Rogersville, Alabama."
