As the anchor of a tough and effective New England offensive line, Woody was a member of two Super-Bowl-winning teams, in 2001 and 2003. He did not play in Super Bowl XXXVIII against the Carolina Panthers because of a knee injury.

Woody signed as a free agent with the Detroit Lions in March 2004 and has started every game since joining the Lions. His play earned him a selection as a Pro Bowl alternate in 2004.
