Raiders’ Woodson still excelling at 39

Allen Park — Raiders safety Charles Woodson has a pretty simple explanation for why he’s been able to play well at age 39.

“It’s all in the grapes,” he said Wednesday, noting Cabernet specifically.

Sure, Woodson might have been trying to promote his California wine company, but whatever the recipe is, there’s no doubt the former Michigan star has found the right formula as he’s continued to thrive in his 18th season.

Woodson, whose Raiders visit Ford Field on Sunday, is tied for the NFL lead with five interceptions, and he’s third on his team with 46 tackles.
