Yates: C Dustin Woodard re-instated to active roster

[ctpatsfan77]

Patriots 2020 7th round pick Dustin Woodward—a Center out of Memphis that retired shortly after being drafted—has been reinstated to the active roster.

So he retired b/c he lost his desire to play football and now he has it back. Must have been burnt out?

Working at Walmart will have that effect on a man

I would've guessed that being a covid-opt out would've been more lucrative than retirement. Plus, it would've seemed more normal than un-retiring your second year after never even going to practice. I'm guessing covid-opt out was only for players who made the squad.

Ha. Looks like he had a 3.2GPA in Mgt so not a dummy. Job market was hard for college grads.

Parents prob told him to get a f___ing job.

"OK mom, FINE!!! I'll un-retire and sign a contract with the Patriots. You win! Happy?!?"

Quite the fallback plan!

He certainly will be given an opportunity to make the Practice Squad.

He and Karras will battle it out for primary IOL backup. It's not impossible he makes the 53 outright.

But can he throw a tight spiral?

(Relax I’m kidding)

Karras in a capable starter and backup guard.

Barring injuries. I put Woodward's chances of being on the Game 1 53 man roster as being around 0.0001%.

“Failure to launch”

 

[Sicilian]

Could get an opportunity to make the PS, but could also very easily not make it to training camp depending on who they snag in the later rounds of the draft. That 90 man roster can fill up quick...

A New England legend left us last offseason, causing heartbreak to patriots fans worldwide. But now..... HES BACK

Head scratcher from both sides. Its marginal but strange enough to know what went into this re-instatement at this point.

Roster spots are running thin & there are guys deep into UDFA territory with better tape and athletic profiles than him..

 

[denverpatsfan]

Brady leaving has some positive impact. This dude is back, baby!

 

[Triumph]

He obviously did not here that the Pandemic is strong in Massachusetts.

How many variants to the virus are there now? Stay safe Dustin.

Minimum wage job not fun. Hope to me more $$ as a backup C. Even worst than a JAG. No desire after drafted? What happens if you put him in a game and all of a sudden he lost desire? You'd get your QB killed!

Hi, my name is Dustin, welcome to McDonald’s! Would you like any fries with your order?

with 90 players participating in drills, how many centers do we need?
