Fifth-year senior inside linebacker with jarring production in his two seasons as a starter. Woodard has elite coverage instincts and ball production from both zone and man. He can match backs and tight ends at break points and read quarterbacks like a book. His run defense lacks the same anticipation and instincts we see from his pass coverage. He plays with a salty downhill trigger and good aggression but can be a step slow reading and responding to the run design. He has a chance to solidify his draft stock as a nickel linebacker and core special teams performer with upside.
