10 NFL Draft picks that lived up to the hype in Michigan football history

The next player on this list is LaMarr Woodley who attended Michigan from 2003 to 2006. Woodley was taken in the second round of the 2007 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was in the NFL from 2007 to 2015 and played for three different teams.

Woodley spent the first seven years of his career with the Steelers. While Woodley did not win a lot of awards like Woodson did, he was still a solid player in the league. In his rookie year, Woodley did not start a single game, but he played in 13 of them and recorded just 19 total tackles, one forced fumble, and 4.0 sacks.

He took a big step in year two when he played and started all 15 games where he had one interception, two forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries, one for a touchdown, 11.5 sacks, and 60 total tackles. Woodley's third season though was by far his best season. He has 13.5 sacks, one forced fumble returned 77 yards for a touchdown, 62 total tackles, and led the league with 20 tackles for loss. He was voted a Pro Bowler that season and was an All-Pro Second Team selection.

After spending seven years with the Steelers, Woodley went to play a season in Oakland and then played his final season in Arizona before retiring in 2015. Woodley finished his career with five interceptions, nine forced fumbles, nine fumble recoveries, two returned for touchdowns, 58.0 sacks, 319 total tackles, and 73 tackles for loss.
