Inside the newsroom: Introducing Eric Woodyard to Jazz fans

Ravell Call, Deseret News

SALT LAKE CITY — When new Deseret News Jazz beat writer Eric Woodyard was ready to chronicle former University of Utah great and NBA rookie Kyle Kuzma's return to Salt Lake City as a Laker to play the Jazz, he had a ready greeting for Kyle's family.

"I'm from Flint."

It's a simple phrase that Flint native Kuzma understands and Jazz fans will come to appreciate as they get to know Eric through his reporting on the Jazz and the NBA now that he's relocated from the Michigan city to Salt Lake City to join the Deseret News.
