Comments:
greatest run stopper of all time. Superbowl MVP. Team leader and backbone of the decades most consistent defense. 2000-2010, including the 2010 season his defense was top ten in YPG every year save for 2002. Derrick is great and a team leader but Lewis is in another class of his own. His defense was top 5 in YPG for 8 out of these 11 years. Do the math guys.

Always an interception waiting to happen, and he's never shy to take a pick back for a TD. Woodson has been dominant ever where he played.
