NFL Video, Picture and Stat of the Day - 10/6/10

My and Keith's favorite movie...what a great speech!  "5 foot nothin.  One hundred and nothin..."

Picture of the Day:  The Rudy of the NFL.

Danny Woodhead of the Patriots now has two touchdowns in the last two games.  Woodhead is listed at 5'9 200 pounds on nfl.com (Haha!).  He's roughly 5'7 and 180 pounds, and was the division 2 player of the year in 2007 when he attended Chadron State.  

NFL Stat of the Day:  

According to Mel Bashore from The Coffin Corner, the smallest player in NFL history is: Jack "Soapy" Shapiro...5'1 119 pound blocking back for the Staten Island Stapletons

Can anyone find a player smaller than that!?
