Last week, former USC All-American wide receiver Robert Woods announced his retirement in the NFL. A second round pick in 2013, Woods spent 13 seasons in the league.
So what will he do next? On Monday, it was announced that Woods will be joining the Los Angeles Rams’ coaching staff. Woods will serve as the team’s assistant wide receivers coach.
Woods played for Los Angeles from 2017-2021. That stretch consisted of the most successful portion of his career in the league, including winning Super Bowl LVI following the 2021 season.
Prior to his NFL career, Woods played at USC from 2010-2012. As a sophomore in 2011, he set program records, catching 111 passes for 1,292 yards and 15 touchdowns. He was named a Consensus All-American following the season, and was also a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award.
Now, he is set to try his hand out at coaching. Who knows, if things go well, maybe he could even join USC’s staff someday down the line.
