Charles Woodson, Peyton Manning stop by Raiders camp
NAPA, Calif. (AP) — Charles Woodson took a break from overseeing his winery in the Napa Valley to visit the Oakland Raiders training camp Thursday. Peyton Manning was there, too, while in the midst of a speaking tour.
The two future Hall-of-Famers were all over the place, chatting with players and coaches and going over techniques as the Raiders went through their 2 1/2-hour workout.
For Woodson, it was a step back in time. The nine-time Pro Bowl defensive back spent 11 seasons over two stints with the Raiders and was a rookie in 1998, Jon Gruden's first year as an NFL coach.
Now retired and an analyst for ESPN, the 41-year-old Woodson was a little startled when he walked onto the practice field and heard music blaring from a far corner.
"I don't remember that ever happening," Woodson said, grinning. "I was just telling somebody, everybody's talking about Gruden's been out of the game, he's out of touch. Actually he's not. He's got a DJ. I think he's fitting right in."
