Oakland Raiders legend Charles Woodson has announced his plans to leave the game soon. While his 18th NFL season is coming to a close, the Raiders have special plans for him.
The Raiders are playing their final home game tonight. Woodson is expected to have a large role in the game.
And, like his college football days, he is expected to have a large role that will include both sides of the ball. According to reports, Woodson is expected to play wide receiver, as well.
How many plays will be play? We’re not sure. However, he may just play a handful of plays on the offensive side of the ball.
While he played college football for the Michigan Wolverines, Woodson was a two-way player as he played wide receiver and cornerback. He also returned punts, too.
Woodson was the first defensive player to win the prestigious Heisman Trophy in 1997.
Reports also suggest that Woodson may return punts in this game. But will the San Diego Chargers punt to him? If so, he will be the oldest player, according to media reports, to return a punt.
Woodson will hope to bring excitement to these new roles as he tries to bring back his Wolverine days.
Some reports suggest this may be the final home game for the Raiders in the Coliseum in Oakland, California. The reports suggest that the team may share a stadium with the Chargers next season in Carson, California.
The NFL will have a meeting in January to decide what to do with these teams. Either the Raiders, Chargers, and the St. Louis Rams may relocate.
Some reports suggest that in the January meeting, the Chargers and Rams may share a stadium, possibly in the Los Angeles area.
