A total of 31 NFL teams have indicated they will attend the workouts.

Woods was second in the 40-yard dash (4.61) and had 24 bench-press reps (225 pounds) to lead all tight ends. His 40-yard dash was the best among tight ends and the fastest by a tight end taller than 6-7 since 2003.

A first-team All-ACC selection in 2021. Woods caught 44 passes, averaging 13.6 yards per reception and finished second on the team with eight scoring catches. Those eight TD catches were the most by an ACC tight end and the fourth most in the nation. His 598 receiving yards led all ACC tight ends and was the third most by a tight end in program history. He had a career-high 122 receiving yards on five catches against Illinois. That was the most receiving yards by a UVA tight end since the 2005 season.

Woods participated in the East/West Shrine Bowl in February, catching three passes including a reception for an eight-yard score.
