As an undrafted player out of Chadron State, running back Danny Woodhead had to beat long odds to have an NFL career.

Woodhead beat those odds, carving out a role with the Patriots after the Jets released him and then moving on to help the Chargers to the playoffs in 2013 in his first season in San Diego. Woodhead’s second season ended with a broken leg in the third game of the season, leaving Woodhead with an extended rehab period that he says left him even hungrier to succeed on the field than he was when he was trying to get his foot in the door.
