After being selected in the 1998 NFL Draft, plenty of NFL experts pegged Woodson as the next great defesnsive back within the NFL. It would be rather poetic that Woodson would become a fixture for the Oakland Raiders who have had a long history of iconic legends within their secondary. Inking a deal with Jordan Brand during the early stages of his career, Woodson would showcase a variety of stellar PEs such as the Air Jordan 9 during Super Bowl XXXVII.
Although his first stint in Oakland would end in unceremonious fashion, Woodson would revitalize his career and ultimately regain his iconic status.
