In his current career as a golf club master fitter/building supply sales associate, nearby Schwenksville resident Josh Woodrum will sometimes get an overly long eyeball from a stranger. The starer, universally a football fan, will then ask, “Weren’t you once a Baltimore Raven?” The source of Woodrum’s affirmative answer was on the roster of Jamison Hensley’s ESPN report.
Woodrum, 29, landed at the Baltimore Ravens in 2017 after playing for and graduating from played for Liberty University, Lynchburg, Va.
During he tenure in Charm City, he never left the bench during a regular-season game.
He did, however, play preseason ball, contributing to the Baltimore Ravens’ unofficial record as the team with football’s longest consecutive preseason win-record: 20 wins over six years.
As a preseason weapon, Woodrum completed 67 percent of passes, earning a passer rating of 102.2.
Keeping his field excellence to training camp was a strategic coaching move. Put primo players on the field during practice, they conjectured, to elevate performance across all positions.
The tactic worked. Baltimore holds the league’s fourth-best record for Septembers (14–6).
Although no longer playing, Woodrum remains a Ravens fan. “I kind of have a soft spot for them,” he said. “They were always good to me.”
