Woodson was so good that Chuck Noll had told defensive coordinator Tony Dungy not to bother doing a detailed report on him, so sure was Noll that the Steelers would have NO chance to pick the Purdue cornerback.

The draft is mostly luck. Except evaluation of talent by the GM and whatnot. Crazy how things turn out sometimes.

So, we can thank Cleveland for Woodson being a Steeler. :lol:

I dont think CB was as valued of a position in the draft back in the early 80's. That and a CB from the Big 10 probably played run more than pass in that era.
Still fortunate that he was there when the Steelers picked, but not a huge surprise that he made it to #10.
