The Ravens signed former Patriots and Chargers running back Danny Woodhead March 8 to strengthen their backfield depth. Woodhead inked a three-year deal worth $8.8 million, $4.25 million of which is guaranteed. The 32-year old Woodhead will likely split snaps with Terrance West and Kenneth Dixon in the Ravens' running back rotation. Here are five things to know about the nine-year veteran.
1. All-Purpose Threat
Woodhead is listed as a running back and plays mostly out of the backfield, but he's made a name for himself as one of the best pass-catching backs in the league. He has four seasons with at least 300 yards rushing and receiving on his resume, and he's also pulled in at least 40 passes in three different seasons. He eclipsed 1,000 all-purpose yards twice in four seasons with San Diego, including a 2015 performance that saw him haul in 80 passes for 755 yards and six touchdowns. He's actually caught more touchdowns (17) than he's ran for (15) in his career.
