Former Miami Dolphins and LSU quarterback David Woodley, who started in the 1983 Super Bowl, has died at age 44.
The cause of his death Monday had not been determined, his brother Joe Woodley said.
David Woodley played four seasons in Miami, including the Dolphins' 27-17 loss to Washington in Super Bowl XVII. He also played one season in Pittsburgh.
Woodley finished 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 Byrd High School in Shreveport, and shared playing time with Steve Ensminger at LSU from 1977-79. He led the Tigers to a 34-10 victory over Wake Forest in the 1979 Tangerine Bowl.
In 1990, Woodley moved back to Shreveport and studied toward an information technology degree at LSU-Shreveport, where he worked in the physical education department. Woodley also was a radio commentator for Byrd's games last season.
He is survived by six brothers and sisters.
Funeral arrangements had not been set Tuesday.
