We’re a little over a week away from the Pro Football Hall of Fame ceremonies in Canton, Ohio. Among those being inducted are Raiders greats Charles Woodson and Tom Flores.
As the big day draws near, the players are receiving their gold jackets which they will wear when they take the stage and remain a part of this exclusive club the rest of their lives.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame was there for C-Wood to open his box.

Woodson also talked about his two stints with the Raiders, the team that drafted him, and where he finished his storied career, retiring following the 2015 season.

Woodson has been soaking it up. The one-time Defensive Player of the Year always seemed like a lock to get the call to the Hall of Fame on the first ballot along with 1998 draft classmate Peyton Manning. Even with the lack of surprise, or having to wait through denials for years like Tom Flores and others, you’d never get the feeling it’s any less special for Charles.
