Woodman is first Utica College player in the program's 15-year history to get an NFL tryout.
On Thursday, Nick Woodman begins a journey no one from Utica College, a Division III school in central New York, has ever been on. Woodman, the school's all-time leader in quarterback sacks with 29.5, will be among the dozens of players to participate in this weekend's New York Giants rookie mini-camp.
It's not what Woodman was supposed to be doing Thursday. A public relations/journalism major, he was scheduled to be the keynote speaker at the school's Hall of Fame sports banquet on Thursday night.
