The following is slightly paraphrased from the ESPN First Draft Podcast (4/19):

“Charles Woodson had an elite grade. I was talking him up for the Heisman Trophy in September of that year. I remember that was Peyton Manning’s year. People were critical of him because he won the Heisman. He had a great year. He caught touchdown passes, he had great returns, he was a shutdown corner. He is a Hall of Fame Corner, he should be in Canton. Remember the whole Tuck Rule in the snow in New England, everyone remembers that game well… He has been a phenomenal aggressive, run-support, shut-down, do everything corner, always has been…. Charles Woodson has been a superstar in the National Football League.”
