On this date 20 years ago in Raiders and NFL history, Charles Woodson made his offensive debut against the San Diego Chargers in a 28-9 victory.
For most NFL players, such an appearance on offense would be an oddity beyond measures or a sign that the team’s overall depth had been shot to pieces. For Woodson and the Raiders, it was an anticipated event dating back to when he was selected No. 4 overall in the 1998 NFL Draft.
Woodson, of course, had starred at the University of Michigan as a defensive back and gadget wide receiver/running back, as well as a returner.
