What happens when you have an 18-year professional football career with 65 interceptions, with 11 being pick-sixes, 33 forced fumbles, 18 fumble recoveries, 20 sacks and 54 tackles for loss from the cornerback position?
You get elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, that’s what.
Nine-time Pro Bowler Charles Woodson, Michigan football’s prolific cornerback and still the only primarily defensive player to ever win the Heisman Trophy, earned the distinction of having his bust enshrined in Canton on Saturday night, as the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced that Woodson has been elected into its shrine for the best to ever play at a professional level.

A two-time Super Bowl participant — he won one with the Green Bay Packers, but lost another with the Oakland Raiders — Woodson is the first announced by the Pro Football Hall of Fame to be elected for the 2021 class.
