Woods played in six games with the Jets and was a reliable contributor before his season was cut short due to an Achilles tear. It’s likely that the same Achilles injury put an end to his professional career.
Throughout his 14 NFL seasons, Woods has made appearances in more than 160 games. Later this month, he will turn 37 years old. He has played for six different teams. Woods’ age and his most recent injuries make it unlikely that he will participate again in the upcoming season.
Maybe he’s willing to try again in an attempt to win his first Super Bowl ring. But it’s unlikely he’ll get that opportunity with the Jets, so it’s safe to presume he’ll retire.
Day two will see Heupel joined by a few SEC opponents. The coaches’ speech order is unknown, but we do know that Kirby Smart of Georgia, Eliah Drinkwitz of Missouri, and Brent Venables of Oklahoma will all speak on day two.
Heupel and the Vols, who finished 9-4 and defeated Iowa in the Citrus Bowl, are coming off another successful season. Going forward, Heupel’s Vols will want to maintain the momentum that was built at the close of the last campaign, with Redshirt Freshman Quarterback Nico Iamaleava leading the attack full-time.
The rookie quarterback taking over under Heupel’s scheme may be the subject of some inquiries. For Vols supporters, Heupel’s plans for enhancing the defense in 2024—particularly the secondary—remain a crucial question. Tennessee’s defense needs to get even better this year if the Volunteers are to go all the way in the College Football Playoffs.
