Woodson has positional flexibility having played corner in high school as well. Given his size, he could even slide down to linebacker in some packages. He plays the run fairly well for someone who plays well off the ball. Coverage skills are pretty sharp and tackling is no issue for him whatsoever - just flip on the tape and you'll see it right away.

As of this time, there is no timetable for a decision
