Al Woods - DL - Steelers

Seahawks claimed DT Al Woods off waivers from the Buccaneers.

A talented underachiever at LSU, Woods recorded 17 tackles in nine games as a rookie last season. He'll compete with Landon Cohen to be Seattle's fourth defensive tackle behind Brandon Mebane, Alan Branch, and Clint McDonald.

Al Woods - DL - Steelers

Saints waived DT Al Woods, OG Brandon Carter, LB Harry Coleman, OL Na'Shan Goddard, and OL Jermey Parnell.

Woods was an ill-advised fourth-round pick in April. A career underachiever, he unsurprisingly made no impact in camp. Coleman was a safety at LSU, trying to convert to linebacker. The linemen were purely camp bodies.

Al Woods - DL - Steelers

Saints signed fourth-round DT Al Woods to a four-year contract.

Familiar with Woods because he played in their backyard at LSU, the Saints traded up to grab him as a developmental project. He was an underachiever in college, so don't expect a rookie-year impact.

Al Woods - DL - Steelers

Saints selected LSU DT Al Woods with the No. 123 overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft.

Though Woods draws high marks for his physical skill set, he was a big-time underachiever throughout college as a former top-20 overall recruit. These players usually go on to become first-day draft picks. Woods (6'4/311), however, was just a one-year starter, finishing his career with only three sacks and seven tackles for loss. He remains a major project.
