While the Raiders’ future appears promising, Woodson’s guidance in the locker room has surely helped develop a slew of talented draft picks from the last several seasons. But Woodson continued to defy that logic throughout the years, even as he reinvented himself and found other ways to be just as effective as he was as a young, 22-year-old upstart with the Raiders way back in 1998.
