Ain't it weird that people will mention deion sanders at the cornerback position but I always felt that rod was arguably the more complete defensive back.

I've always thought that Rod Woodson was a better player than Deion Sanders, because Woodson can play multiple positions in the backfield, excellent ball skills, outstanding tackler, can return punts and kickoffs, and his transition from cornerback to safety was effortless to him. It doesn't take away from Deion's greatness as a outstanding player and athlete. You can choose either player and you can win. But, I like Woodson just a little more.

8:15 A $4,000 loan to a college student. Any other student would’ve been eligible to receive that money, especially in those circumstances, but the NCAA to this day still has trepidations about allowing the players to sign up with agents

I live around the block from Snider since 2003. My daughter was a freshman at Snider when Jessie Bates was a senior. They won Indiana State Championship 2017! Anyway, Jessie attended Rod’s summer football camp that he had at Snider. I think Rod Woodson was the best secondary football player ever!!!

Speed, strength, hit power, and coverage, both man and zone. You can't get better than that

I sit in disbelief and awe of this guy. I know why and dont know why. it looked like he had: (besides the racism) a regular childhood. I can see in his childhood photos that he was destined to be great at whatever he did. I didnt notice him as a player until 1993 when he was in a Calendar for the NFL. I use to constantly go back and stare at the photo like i knew this guy from somewhere. Football players back then did not look like him. The Steelers one of my 2 favorite teams had this guy on their team since 1987 & i was oblivious to him. I am glad he is getting some internet or documentary recognition. He belongs up there with Egyptian & Greek Gods.

Rod had a dope afro as a kid. He was a beast in college.

People didn't say mixed 30 years ago. My Black Parents said that any person that had 1 drop of blood in them that means that the person is still Black. The Italian and Sicilian will tell me that they have Black blood in their genes because Hannibal & other soldiers who invaded Italia & Rome from Northern Africa! My Black mom has a Black high yellow complexion, my grandma looked like an Indian from Mexico, and my great grandfather look white or Italian. I was about 8 years old when I met my great grandfather. My mom & Grandma said that my Great Grandfather was Black because he had 1 drop of Black Blood in him. As a young 8-year-old boy I accepted what they told me. However, by today's standard some people would call me mixed!
