Danny Woodhead Treating Game Against Former Team Like Any Other, ‘Long Gone’ From Split With Jets

FOXBORO, Mass. — Patriots running back Danny Woodhead is grateful for the opportunity he was granted by the Jets. That said, he has more than moved on from his two-plus seasons in New York.

Woodhead has 574 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns in nine games with the Patriots this season, far and away eclipsing the totals he compiled with the Jets, who released him three months ago. Obviously, Woodhead is in a better situation, and that has helped him free his mind of anything that happened with the only other team he has ever known.

"You know, stuff like this happens," Woodhead said. "It's a business and that's what happens in the NFL. I’m long gone from that. That’s not something that I worry about or look at in the past, I mean, because you can’t. I’m here and I’m happy, and that’s all that matters."
