Packers 17th round draft pick in 1974. Didn't make the team, and went on to be known as the I-5 Killer. Police believe he may have killed as many as 18 people.

Just a little light news for your Sunday Morning.

Yet another brilliant Dan Devine move. Here's some additional info on Woodfield before Davine selected him not in the article...


When Woodfield started to expose himself in public in high school, everybody laughed it off at first, and members of the coaching staff supressed his first arrest to keep him eligible for the squad.

In August 1970, attending college in Ontario, Oregon, he was picked up again, this time for vandalizing an ex-girlfriends apartment.

Two years later, in Vancouver, Washington, he logged his first adult arrest on charges of indecent exposure, receiving a suspended sentence.

A similar arrest in Portland, earned him more suspended time in June of 1973.

Woodfield got a break that year, when he was drafted by the Green Bay Packers, but he could not shake his problems with a trip across the country.

In 1974, after a dozen "flashing" incidents called unwelcome attention to Randy, the Packers gave up and sent him home.

Son, when your father and I told you to "stick it out in Green Bay' you may have misunderstood our meaning.

Ouch.

But it does put McGinn's lament over Justin Harrell in today's Packer Insider in a slightly different perspective. McGinn writes that had Ted taken team needs into account and not ignored Harrel's injuries and accepted the offer from the Browns, then the Packers would have absolutely drafted Chris Johnson the next year. Because Bob, being an expert in time travel, knows that when one decision changes, everything else still holds true to the original events. Even a year later.

And Bretsky, you will be happy to know half of the draft room was with you on drafting Robert Meachem at that spot.

When Woodfield was arrested, the car he was driving had a Packer sticker on it.

you can't really say mandarich. he actually played in the league a few years. i think the topic begins and ends with that guy above. it doesn't get any worse than didn't make the team and killed someone.

I don't know why, but this made me laugh. Thanks PB!

...so not Packer people?

He was the worst person drafted by the Packers, but the worst pick from a team perspective would be one of the big first round busts.

Dear Son,

When your mother and I told you to go to Green Bay and "show 'em what you got," you may have misinterpreted our meaning.

Love,
Dad

Dear Son,

When I told you that the reason you failed in Green Bay was that you lacked the killer instinct, I didn't mean it literally.
