SHREVEPORT, La. (May 6) -- David Woodley, who started at quarterback for the Miami Dolphins in the 1983 Super Bowl, died at 44.
He died Sunday, the Rose-Neath Funeral Home in Shreveport said Tuesday. The cause of death had not been determined, brother Joe Woodley told The (Shreveport) Times.
David Woodley played four seasons in Miami, including the Dolphins' 27-17 loss to Washington in the Super Bowl. He also played one season in Pittsburgh.
Woodley is third in Dolphins history with 5,928 career passing yards and 508 pass completions, behind Dan Marino and Bob Griese. He holds the Miami rookie record with 176 pass completions.
Woodley played at LSU from 1977-79, leading the Tigers to a 34-10 victory over Wake Forest in the 1979 Tangerine Bowl.
In 1990, Woodley moved back to Shreveport and pursued an information technology degree at LSU-Shreveport, where he worked in the physical education department. Woodley also was a radio commentator for high school football games last season.
