Danny Woodhead

Recently Danny Woodhead learned that he would be inducted into the Nebraska Football Hall of Fame. Danny graduated last spring from Chadron State College, a small NCAA Division II school in Northwest Nebraska. Throughout his career Danny has accumulated some ridiculous stats. Nobody has rushed the football for more yards in the history of the NCAA at all levels (7,962). In 2006 Danny rushed for 2,756 yards (another NCAA record at all levels) and averaged 181 yards per game. As a result of much of that success running the football, Danny was twice awarded the Harlon Hill Trophy in 2006 and 2007. The Harlon Hill Trophy is given to the NCAA Division II Football Player of the Year. Currently Danny is going through mini-camps trying to make the team with the New York Jets.

So why all the talk about all of Danny's stats on the Doing Sports God's Way Blog? Because as impressive as these statistics are, Danny has a relationship with Jesus Christ. And as Danny humbly admits, none of this would have been possible without Jesus. That is why Danny plays for the glory of God. On December 22nd of last year Danny was interviewed on FCA's National Radio Program - "Sharing the Victory" by University of Nebraska Tight End's Coach Ron Brown. I encourage you to take a listen to the heart behind all of this success. You will find a heart that does not define success in how many yards he can accumulate or if he can make it in the NFL. You will simply find a heart that desires to live for the glory of God in all areas of his life...including football.
