Charles Woodson

Woodson played for Michigan from 1995 to 1997. In 1995, Woodson was selected as the Big Ten freshman of the Year.  He was named to the All-Big Ten First Team by conference coaches, and second-team All-Big Ten by the media. He led the team with five interceptions and eight takeaways.

In 1996, Woodson set a Wolverine record for pass breakups with 15. For his efforts, he was named the Chevrolet Defensive Player of the Year and an AP First Team All-American. He was a finalist for the Jim Thorpe award and named to All-Big Ten First Team by conference coaches and the media.

In his junior season in 1997, Woodson became the third Michigan player to win the Heisman. He was the first and is still the only primarily defensive player to win the prestigious award. Woodson is the last player to win the Heisman Trophy that is not a running back or quarterback. Woodson led the Michigan Wolverines to an undefeated season and a National Championship in the same year. He won the Bronko Nagurski Trophy as the best defensive college player. He was named to the All-Big Ten First-Team for the third year and was recognized as a consensus first-team All-American. It was his second year winning the Chevrolet Defensive Player of the Year award and Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year. Woodson won the Jim Thorpe Award, an award which he was nominated for the previous year.

Woodson finished his college career with 18 interceptions and 30 passes defended.

Woodson was drafted 4th overall in the 1998 NFL Draft by the Oakland raiders.

Its been fun guys... I've made a few memories, made a few freinds (I'm looking at you mGrowOld), upset a few people (I'm looking at you, pretty much everyone else) but overall it was a great experience. Something I would do again? maybe not. But i've definitely learned a lot about a few Michigan players and I cannot wait for Michigan to play tomorrow. Lets have a great season and I'll be talking to you all again at some point on these boards. 

Go Blue.
