(Video) Al Woods Receives New Orleans Saints' NFL Draft Call

Thanks for sharing such a personal moment.

You should really look both ways before stepping into a street.

(I like how Al was really respectful and grateful. Did you see the ESPN show with Gruden and the QB’s? ALL of them except one answered Gruden with “yeah”, “uh huh”, or a nod. Only one said “yes, sir”.)

cant wait to see you in black and gold!! thanks for sharing

WHO DAT?
TWO DAT!

That put such a grin on my face Al. The way you reacted shows how much this means to you. Thanks for sharing this significant time in your life. It truly is a very special thing to share with us and i would be surprised if you realized how much it means to all of us.

Thanks again!

Look at all the freshly washed cars! Hey, there he is on the TV!! Al Woods!!! uh oh, wait a minute… who’s that wearing that Dallas Cowboys cap??? GAAAA!!! Good job, Al. I was smiling throughout the whole video.

The more I see this video and read your story about your draft experience, the more I get excited about watching you play this season. I’m hoping to see you in the black & gold for many years to come.

And as for the guy in the Cowboys hat, just make him regret buying it after you get done with Romo this Thanksgiving!

cant wait for the season to start

Sharing your joy and excitement as your dream came true is an act that has you ranked as one of my favorite Saints players already. My thoughts and prayers go out to you as you start your journey in the NFL.

Thanks for sharing that with us. Good luck!

Keep that to show the grandkids. Looks like you went through your pro-day
routine out there on the front lawn. Great work big fella.

They just posted Big Al’s video on their site. I’m thinking Triplett or someone might have been checking us out this morning. Could this be the first instance of the Time-Pic linking to our site, instead of the other way around? Actually, I remember them referencing us once before.

I’m gone for a few days and now we got a VIP section? It used to be Dave as the only star around here. Welcome aboard Al and thank you for posting here. Btw, since ya like BBQ if you’re ever in Kansas stop on by, we have some good places.

After reading your posts, and seeing this video, it is extremely refreshing to see your enthusiasm, excitement, and gratitude for being drafted by the Saints. You seem like one of us, very human, very likable, very genuine. You will quickly gain a very large and loyal fan base. Which leads me to my question…

After you were drafted by the Saints, I scoured the web, looking for your scouting reports. One criticism (can’t remember where it is from) stuck with me: It said you are “too nice” to be a dominant football player. I had never seen that before. “Too nice.” My question is two-fold actually. First, is that even a legitimate criticism? Is there merit to the idea that a player can be “too nice”? If so, is that a fair evaluation of yourself? Or is there a sort of “Jekyll and Hyde” transformation you go through on game day?

I would love to hear your take on this…

Stay healthy big man…

who was extremely nice to opposing players out on the field and made the Hall of Fame. He’s one of the greatest defensive linemen in the history of the game. He would sack the quarterback and the say God Bless You and help them up. You might have heard of him

At this rate your becoming a fan favorite, Who Dat! I to was fascinated by the sticker on side of the helmet as a youngster. My fav. BBQ sauce is Jack Miller’s. C’est Bon! Can’t wait for u to drop the hammer on Sundays. Whoop Whoop.

Enjoyed reading your posts and that’s an awesome video! Congrats on a dream come true! Looking forward to seeing you on the field, helping us defend our title!

Thanks for sharing that with us. I loved seeing your excitement and enthusiasm! I can’t wait to see you on the field.
