Chuck, Charles, C Wood, Chucky Wood, C Dub, God. Whatever you want to call him, Charles Woodson continues to prove to be one of the league’s best defensive players. He plays the field like it should be played. With ruthless aggression. I would say he plays the corner like it should, but Woodson is all over the map. Whether it is corner, or nickel, or safety, or hybrid linebacker. The guy is an amoeba out there. He will transform and roam wherever he sees fit.
The Heisman Trophy Winner’s career seemed to be over in 2005. He was battling constant injuries with the Oakland Raiders, who drafted him 4th overall in 1998, and seemed to be slowing down. Not uncommon for a player who did everything. Ted Thompson was under the pressure from media, and Quarterback Brett Favre to spend in free agency. Thompson then gambled on Woodson. As usual, a Thompson calculated gamble pays off.
Woodson had 8 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles in his first season with Green Bay. Ever...
