Although Pierre Woods might not end up lining up in Mike Vrabel’s old spot, he starts as the front-runner to win a job opposite Adalius Thomas.
Is Woods motivated by the concern those outside of Foxborough have for filling the void at outside linebacker?
“I’m motivated regardless,’’ said Woods. “Coaches and the front office, had they not had confidence in me and the other guys that are here they would have brought some other people in. That speaks volumes there.’’
Owner of just one sack in three NFL seasons, Woods acknowledged that greater potency as a pass rusher needs to be part of his game.
“Each and every day I usually go do some pass rush [drills] and things like that,’’ he said. “So, definitely coming into this training camp I’m going to work harder at pass rush.’’
