Woodson Says He’d Enter the Hall of Fame as a Steeler
July 8th, 2009 | by Matt Loede |
One of the greatest cornerbacks of all-time is being rewarded with a bust in Canton, OH this August in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and when it comes to what team he wants to be represented by on his bio, Rod Woodson says it’s the black and gold.
“If you’re a Steeler - once a Steeler, always a Steeler. I mean the Steelers faithful travel extremely well,” Woodson said to KNBR in San Francisco. “But as an individual, if they made me choose a team going in to the Hall of Fame, I would have chosen the Pittsburgh Steelers, but as a whole, I have to thank every single team that I played with.”
“I enjoyed the ten years that I had with the Steelers, it was remarkable, it was my start, but it wasn’t my finish. I think the vast majority of the body of work was done in Pittsburgh but the four years I spent in Baltimore, I got the ring, I transitioned positions in Baltimore, met a lot of great individual players, have a lot of great friendships from there. Same thing with the 49ers and same thing with the Raiders, so you know, it’s kind of hard. I’m a bi-racial person in life, I’m a mixed race, and I’m a mutt in football. I played on multiple teams and it was fun.”
Woodson was always a class act with the Steelers, and it was tough to see him finish his career with other teams such as the Niners, Ravens and Raiders. That being said it’s good to see him appreciate the team that he spent the biggest part of his career with, and the team that gave him his start.
