When Oakland defensive back Willie Brown returned an interception 75 yards for a touchdown against the Vikings in Super Bowl XI, the announcer called him "Old Man Willie." He was 36 years old.
Not so old when you look at Charles Woodson today. Woodson, 39, is the oldest defensive player in the NFL. The Raiders safety will face the Vikings on Sunday at O.co Stadium.
Woodson broke into the NFL in 1998. Vikings rookie wide receiver Stefon Diggs was 4 that year.
"He's definitely the ageless wonder," Diggs said.
Woodson is tied for the NFL lead with five interceptions.
