He helped revive the Raiders and lead them to three straight playoff berths capped by an AFC championship in the 2002 season. He is a Pro Bowler in his second National Football League season. He simply grew up, and when Woodson returned following the 2012 season after the Packers declined to pay him $9 million in salary, he was married and the father of two boys. He arrived for a free-agent visit only to be greeted by fans begging him to come back. However, as I’ve said – if the Raiders were going to have any real change of wining this contest they were going to need to put that “Commitment To Excellence” on display today. “That was really cool”.
