SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – The National Football Foundation (NFF) & College Hall of Fame recently announced the 2016 College Football Hall of Fame Class, which includes the names of 14 First Team All-America players and two standout coaches. The inductees were selected from the national ballot of 76 All-America players and five elite coaches from the Football Bowl Subdivision and the 92 players and 27 coaches from the divisional ranks. Former Raiders safety and current assistant defensive backs coach Rod Woodson is part of the 2016 class.
"It's a huge honor," Woodson said. "Just thinking about all the players who have played collegiate football throughout the years and to think a young kid from Fort Wayne, Indiana, who went to Snider High School and Purdue University, to be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame is just an accomplishment and an honor that I'll cherish forever.
