Woodworth could be a Greg Mancz starter kit for the Texans. If the former North Texas product could gain the confidence of the coaching staff to fill in at center or guard, then it could help the Texans get younger and also cheaper. However, Woodworth is an undrafted free agent battling veterans with no preseason games. The chances are slim to make the team.
