LaMarr Dudley Woodley (born November 3, 1984) is an American football outside linebacker who is currently a free agent. He played college football at Michigan, where he was recognized as a unanimous All-American, and was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second round of the 2007 NFL Draft. He later beat the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII as a member of the Steelers. Woodley has also played for the Oakland Raiders.
Woodley was born and raised in Saginaw, Michigan. While in high school, Woodley teamed with former Detroit Lions wide receiver Charles Rogers and former Chicago Bulls point guard Anthony Roberson on Saginaw High School's football team in 2000 to win Michigan's Division II state championship.
Considered a five-star recruit by Rivals.com, Woodley was listed as the No. 3 inside linebacker in the nation in 2003.
Woodley enrolled at the University of Michigan, where he played for coach Lloyd Carr's Michigan Wolverines football team from 2003 to 2006. He predominantly played defensive end and sometimes linebacker, depending on the front seven's alignment. In 2006, Woodley was named the defensive captain of the Wolverines by his teammates. He collected 12 sacks as a senior and won the Lombardi Award as the best lineman, offensive or defensive, in the country. T-shirts were created by Dave Peabody of the blog Michigan Against the World and sold in Ann Arbor with the slogan, "Guns don't kill people. LaMarr Woodley kills people." His 12 sacks led the Big Ten conference, and it ranked 8th in the nation. Following his senior season in 2006, LaMarr was a first-team All-Big Ten selection, and was recognized as a unanimous first-team All-American. Woodley earned a master's degree in sport management studies through the Global Online program at California University of Pennsylvania, a public university about 35 miles from Pittsburgh.
