The resolution honors Daniel "Danny" Woodhead for his recent induction into the College Football Hall of Fame, marking him as the first player from Chadron State College to receive this prestigious recognition. Born in North Platte, Nebraska, Woodhead excelled in multiple sports during his high school years and went on to achieve remarkable success at Chadron State College, where he amassed 9,259 all-purpose yards and 109 touchdowns, earning the Harlon Hill trophy twice. His professional football career included stints with the New York Jets, New England Patriots, San Diego Chargers, and Baltimore Ravens, culminating in a notable touchdown during Super Bowl XLVI.
The resolution expresses the Nebraska Legislature's congratulations to Woodhead for his accomplishments and acknowledges his contributions to the sport. It also mandates that copies of the resolution be sent to both Woodhead and the President of Chadron State College, Ron K. Patterson, to commemorate this significant achievement.
