Rod Woodson Says Steelers Defense Needs New Playmaker To Emerge With Shazier Out

During his 17 years in the NFL, Hall of Fame defensive back Rod Woodson made several big plays and that included him registering 71 regular season interceptions, forcing 20 fumbles and recovering 32 fumbles. On Thursday, Woodson was a guest on NFL Total Access and the former first-round draft pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers told Lindsay Rhodes that his old team’s defense needs what the offense has had for several years now, and that’s a playmaker.

“At the end of the day, when they lose their game against Jacksonville, 42-45, your defense is a concern and I can’t remember the last time time they had a playmaker on the defensive side,” Woodson said.
