Charles Woodson was named the AFC’s Defensive Player of the Month on Thursday, his fifth such honor of his 18-year career. Only Hall of Fame defensive end Bruce Smith, with six, has won more.
Chalk that up as another meaningful moment in the future Hall of Fame defensive back’s career.
“It means a great deal because I love what I do,” Woodson, 39, said. “ I love my job. It just says that there’s a reason why I’m still here because I’m able to go out there and do my job and do it well.”
Woodson is tied for the NFL lead with four interceptions this season and three of them came in October.
