Rod Woodson

Hall of Fame safety Rod Woodson is currently Oakland’s assistant defensive backs coach. Woodson’s assumed the position since returning to the Raiders staff in 2015. Prior, he served as Head DB Coach in 2011.

Unfortunately, Woodson’s lack of talent in the secondary didn’t help his case. Luckily, we can push the memories of cornerbacks Stanford Routt and Chris Johnson to the back of our minds. Currently, the secondary features young, unfulfilled potential, spearheaded by Pro Bowl safety Reggie Nelson.

With a better group of talent this time around, and also more coaching experience, Woodson could have better success in his second stint.
