127 Quotes by Charles Woodson

For a guy not to want to listen to a Jerry Rice, a Tim Brown, a Charlie Garner, doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

I'm a champion. It's all I ever wanted.

Practice don't win games.

For the Raiders, I'm always going to be ready and willing to go there and talk to those players about whatever.

Marvin Harrison was the best receiver I played against, especially being a young player and just learning the game at this level. He was already at a high level, and the job was made even more difficult because it seemed like every time we played the Colts it was in Indianapolis, where they played on turf - that old AstroTurf.

I love competition, but my approach to the game was to never make it personal. It was business. It was what I did, so it didn't matter who the opposing team was, or who the receiver was. I approached it as business and I never let myself get outside of that.

The Raiders took me fourth overall because they had a certain need, and that was for me to come in and play man-to-man, bump-and-run all day, to guard the best receiver. You understand your job going in, so that's what you focus on. Would I have liked to play receiver and go both ways? Yep, would have loved to have done that.

I never intended on playing as long as I have, but this is the way it's happened and I'm so grateful for it.

You know this is a great, great country that we live in to be able to play this great game.
