Charles Woodson Enjoys Big Saturday

Apr 28, 2018 at 09:45 AM

At this point, what can't Charles Woodson do?

The future Hall of Famer put together one of the best careers in NFL history, and now you see him regularly on your television as a football analyst for EPN.

Well, C. Wood added another feather to his cap Saturday morning, as he was given an honorary Doctor Of Law degree from his alma mater, the University of Michigan.

In addition to his honorary degree, the new "doctor" took care of a little bit of business too, addressing the assembled crowd of students and loved ones at the Michigan commencement ceremony.

That wasn't the only exciting thing that happened for No. 24 Saturday afternoon, as the Silver and Black selected a fellow Wolverine defensive tackle Maurice Hurst in the fifth round of the NFL Draft.

Have a day, Doctor Woodson; have a day.
