Eric Wood grew up in Cincinnati and played tight end, tackle and guard for the Elder High Panthers.
The Panthers won two consecutive titles during his junior and senior seasons. The only two in school history. Although the school has produced 10 NFL players.
Wood was recruited by Louisville after watching him on a basketball court.
Wood was a freshman All-American and earned All-Big East honors as a sophomore, junior and senior.
In 2007 Louisville won the Orange Bowl, Muhammad Ali was the Cardinals honorary captain.
During the off season as a junior Wood began training for the NFL combine, after three weeks of training he elected to stay at Louisville and finished his career with 49 consecutive starts.
Wood was projected as a top center in the 2009 NFL draft alongside Alex Mack. It was the first draft since 1983 with two centers selected in the first round.
Wood was selected with the 28th selection, a pick the Bills acquired for trading Jason Peters.
Since taking over as the starting center in 2011 Wood has allowed 2 just sacks.
A fan favorite Eric is also fearless when it comes to autographs. He’s signed, a wooden pickle, eviction notice and a jock strap for the Bills faithful.
