Woodson was ready to leave Oakland and, given his play for the previous eight seasons, he was sure that teams would be clamoring for his services. He was incorrect. Gruden brought h...
All the teams that doubted Woodson and passed on him would be kicking themselves in 2006. That year, Woodson set the world on fire with one of the best seasons of his career.
