On Saturday (August 8th), NFL defensive back Rod Woodson was formally inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.
Back on January 31st, he was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.
During his 17-year career with the Pittsburgh Steelers, San Francisco 49ers, Baltimore Ravens, and Oakland Raiders, Woodson was named to the Pro Bowl 11 times (a record for a defensive back), and set the NFL record for most career interceptions for touchdowns (12). In 1994, he was named to the NFL's 75th Anniversary Team.
In an emotional moment during his
acceptance speech, he touched on the challenges of growing up biracial, and as the child of an interracial marriage.
Currently, Woodson is an analyst for the NFL Total Access on the NFL Network.
