The resolution honors Daniel "Danny" Woodhead for his induction into the College Football Hall of Fame, marking a significant achievement as he becomes the first player from Chadron State College to receive this honor. Born in North Platte, Nebraska, Woodhead excelled in multiple sports during high school and went on to have a remarkable college football career at Chadron State College, where he amassed 9,259 all-purpose yards and 109 touchdowns, earning the Harlon Hill trophy twice. His professional career in the NFL included stints with the New York Jets, New England Patriots, San Diego Chargers, and Baltimore Ravens, where he scored a total of thirty-two touchdowns and notably scored during Super Bowl XLVI.
The resolution expresses the Nebraska Legislature's congratulations to Woodhead for his accomplishments and requests that copies of the resolution be sent to him and to the President of Chadron State College, Ron K. Patterson. This recognition not only celebrates Woodhead's individual achievements but also highlights the pride of Chadron State College and the state of Nebraska in his contributions to football.
