Robert Woods Career

From 2010 to 2012, Robert was a member of the USC Trojans football team, coached by Lane Kiffin. He was considered a top-five prospect and the top broad receiver prospect in the next NFL Draft before his junior season in April 2012.

However, due to his dwindling importance in the Trojans’ offense and the rise of Marqise Lee, Woods’ draft projection had dropped to the late first round by mid-season. Woods was selected in the second round (41st overall) of the 2013 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills.

Before third-round pick (78th overall) Marquise Goodwin, Woods was the fifth wide receiver the Bills took in 2013. He was the first of two wide receivers selected by the Bills in 2013.

His best statistical season came in 2018, when he recorded 86 receptions for 1,219 yards and six touchdowns. He also helped the Rams reach Super Bowl LIII during the 2018 season.

Woods continued to be an important part of the Rams’ offense through the 2021 season. Unfortunately, he suffered a torn ACL during the 2021 campaign and missed the Rams’ postseason run. Despite being sidelined, he was part of the Rams team that defeated the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVI and became a Super Bowl champion.

In 2025, Woods signed a one-year contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
