Woods was everywhere in head coach Sean McVay’s offense in his second season in L.A. He set career highs in targets, receptions, touchdowns, and eclipsed the 1,000-yard receiving mark for the first time in his career playing multiple positions, in and out of the slot filling in for injured wideout Cooper Kupp. He became just the fourth receiver in NFL history to post 14-straight games with at least 60 yards receiving.
“I would say last season was my best season as a pro so far,” Woods said in an interview for therams.com’s
Behind the Grind. He reviewed his career-season, comparing it to his college days in terms of both attention and production. “I was able to put up 1200-plus yards, and for me personally, I feel like that’s just the beginning of what I can do.”
The 27-year-old L.A. native calling his career-season ‘just the beginning’ isn’t hyperbolic or even hype talk as he begins year seven. Another go around in the Rams’ explosive offense as one of its most versatile weapons is uncharted waters for the former All-American, who once only dreamt of hitting the four-digit receiving mark.
“Unfortunately I did think, ‘Like man, am I going to disappear?’” Woods said, recalling the start of his NFL journey — four seasons, 2,500 miles from L.A. in Buffalo, New York.
