After Thursday’s practice, linebacker Wesley Woodyard was honored with the 2012 Darrent Williams Good Guy Award.
The award was created in memory of former Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams, who passed away on Jan. 1, 2007, after completing his second season with the team. The annual honor is given to the Bronco who best exemplifies Williams’ enthusiasm, cooperation and honesty while dealing with members of the press.
“I think he’s about as good as guy as there gets,” Head Coach John Fox said of the selection. “Wesley’s a great guy in that locker room, he’s been a leader here for the two years I’ve been here, I know.”
According to The Denver Post’s Jeff Legwold, who presented the award on behalf of the Denver chapter of the Pro Football Writers of America, Woodyard was recognized for his willingness to meet with the press during the highs and lows of the season.
Previous winners of the Darrent Williams Good Guy Award were Champ Bailey (2011), Mario Haggan (2010), Elvis Dumervil (2009), Ebenezer Ekuban (2008) and John Lynch (2007).
“I wasn’t here with Darrent,” Woodyard said upon receiving the award. “But guys like (cornerback) Champ (Bailey) told me all about him and the fans around town, he was a good guy and guy that everybody should base their life about, just the way he gave back to the community and how he cared about his teammates so this really does mean a lot to me and thank you.”
Props Wood!!! Well deserved!
B-R-O-N-C-O-S BRONCOS BRONCOS BRONCOS!!!
WOODYARD IS A GOOD GUY..GO BRONCOS
Very well deserved for Woodyard. Way to go!
The Chargers want to meet with Lovie Smith. They like his familiarity with whiny turnover prone QBs
LOL
Lovie would be a good fit for S.D. I think.
Lovie to SD scares me. That would be a good step for them.
Too bad for Lovie, that his new QB has less arm strength and it is declining by the second.
Once Reid gets hired Scott Pioli may be out as GM. And Heckert may come in.
Chargers are interested in Bruce Ariens. and Mike McCoy if he wants to leave is favorited to go the Philly
Looks like all the teams in the AFC West are looking to improve. The next thing is to have some patience with your new coach and system.
We got lucky that a 3 year rebuild was done in 2. For the most part I think you don’t see real improvement till year 2 and then the actual results of that improvement in year 3. And this is at a minimum.
No buddy has any patience anymore.
Way to be #52!
rip d-will. was one of my favorite players. so talented. such a senseless tragedy.
Rockin’ a Wesley Woodyard jersey in Durango, congrats, you deserve this award! This TEAM obviously has leadership and chemistry. Let’s GO BRONCOS!!!
