Ickey Woods has always been a celebrity among Bengals fans, but his fame has surged to an all-time high thanks to some comical commercials. Woods is using his regained fame to do great work through a foundation he started on behalf of his son.
Rarely do people in the celebrity and/or athletics business get second chances. Whether it's a devastating injury, upsetting the wrong person(s), or poor personal decisions, redemption stories are few and far between. That's why they are so openly celebrated when they occur.
Former Bengals running back Elbert "Ickey" Woods was on top of the world in the late 1980s.
