I am sure he will get a chance, likely as FA. Really hard to say which team would sign him but teams always looking for backup QBs so assuming he remains healthy and performs as expected (or better) in post season game, combine and pro day, he should get some looks. Brees as a 2nd rd projected player, so clearly the pro scouts saw more skills and potential than they are seeing for Woodside who at best in projected as 6-7rd or FA. But you never know as pro scouting is far from an perfect science, and often it is about the right opportunity at the right time (including coaches and teammates) and hard work and dedication. Not much was expected for Bruce G coming out of college but he made good NFL career out of it.

Omar Jacobs was a 5th round pick, Bruce 6th round.

Omar was overinflated...

Yea considering he never made a NFL regular roster it appears that predraft assessment was off (even as a mid round draft pick). I do give him credit in the sense that he stuck with it and ended up playing with 9 years with various Arena Football leagues and teams including a championship. It does appear that his ranking and draft position was greatly impacted by leaving college early to take advantage of what was clearly a weak QB class year. At the time I thought he made a mistake to forgo his senior year, especially when he had a down junior year with injuries. Maybe he got some bad advice or felt his chances where better than would have been in the 2007 draft.
