On the latest NFL Players: Second Acts podcast, Hall of Famer Rod Woodson joins Peanut Tillman and Roman Harper for a conversation packed with football history, personal evolution, and the mindset that made him one of the greatest defensive backs ever. Woodson reflects on his journey from safety to corner, the coaches who shaped him, and the humility he carries even as a member of the NFL’s All‑Time 100 team and 75th Anniversary team.
He shares stories from Pittsburgh and Baltimore — playing for Chuck Noll and Bill Cowher, learning to think about life after football, and joining the legendary Ravens defense. Woodson also opens up about his track career, his regret about not running in the Olympic trials, and how broadcasting lets him give fans a true backend perspective.
The guys revisit memorable moments, including Woodson’s first game in Baltimore, Roman’s memory of Rod giving him his flowers, and Rod’s breakdown of the Peanut Punch. It’s a sharp, reflective look at longevity, versatility, and the second acts that follow a Hall of Fame career.
The NFL Players: Second Acts podcast is a production of the NFL in partnership with iHeart Media.
