Oakland Raiders safety Charles Woodson, and several former Raiders have been named named to the Football Writers Association of America's 75th Anniversary All-America Team. Woodson, who won the Heisman trophy as a primarily defensive player at Michigan, became the first player in NFL history to record 50 career interceptions and 20 career sacks last season. Woodson, Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning and Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Hasselbeck are the last three remaining active players from the 1998 NFL Draft class. Woodson is entering his 18th season in the league, his 11th with the Raiders (3rd since returning to the team after a stint with Green Bay).
