Raiders S Charles Woodson could return to the days of `Fremont’ as installed by former coach Jon Gruden

ALAMEDA _ The Raiders may be revisiting “Fremont” on Christmas Eve as part of a farewell to retiring safety Charles Woodson.

“Fremont” was a package of plays former coach Jon Gruden installed for Woodson to play offense as a wide receiver in 1999.

“Yeah, I remember `Fremont,’ ” Woodson said with a laugh Wednesday. “We had it. Didn’t use it enough, in my opinion.”

Woodson caught one pass for 19 yards in 1999 and one pass for eight yards in 2000 and said he remembers being on the field for four plays.

Gruden named the package after Woodson’s home town of Fremont, Ohio.
