28. In 1998. the Raiders drafted Charles Woodson, one of the few defensive players to win the Heisman. At 6’1″, 200 pounds, he has size, strength, good feet, hips, speed, intelligence, competitive fire and mad hops. He went right up with Randy Moss on fade route in his prime and knocked the ball away. He was also clutch, strip-sacking New England Patriots QB Tom Brady in the playoffs to put the game away. But the “Tuck Rule”, the rule the game was named after, gave the Patriots the ball back and you know the rest. Woodson’s first eight of 18 years in the NFL were with the Raiders with four Pro Bowls and one All-Pro, Then he went to the Green Bay Packers, where he made four more Pro Bowls and two more All-Pros. He also won a Super Bowl and NFL Defensive Player of the Year over there. Then in an emotional decision, he came back to Raider Nation and reinvented himself as a safety. He then got the franchise going in the right direction and made the Pro Bowl in his last year. Woodson is the only man in NFL history that has 60 interceptions and 20 sacks to his credit, And 27 of his interceptions have him at No. 8 in franchise history to decorate him as a Raider.. . .
