In the same vein as the well-deserved BJGE thread...
I was just looking at the numbers Woodhead has put up, and they're pretty impressive. This goes way beyond "pretty good for a little guy off the street." His stats rank up with the best seasons of the elite 3rd-down/change-of-pace backs. In just 12 games as a Patriot, dropping in mid-season without benefit of training camp, Woodhead has produced:
G ATT YDS AVG TDS REC YDS AVG TDS FUM
12 82 435 5.3 4 31 347 11.2 1 0
For comparison, here are some other notable backs -- not current year stats, not career averages, but cherry picking the single most productive year of each player's career:
Leon Washington
16 76 448 5.9 6 47 355 7.6 2 3
Darren Sproles
16 61 330 5.4 1 29 342 11.8 5 3
Kevin Faulk
15 83 507 6.1 3 58 486 8.4 3 0
Reggie Bush
14 70 390 5.6 5 47 333 7.1 3 4
