In Woodley vs. Hawk Episode II: Speed Kills [view Episode I: Strength and Power Training here], we give you a behind-the-scenes look at the off-season speed training used by Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker LaMarr Woodley and Green Bay Packers linebacker AJ Hawk—training that contributed mightily to their highly successful seasons, culminating at Super Bowl XLV.
