C. Woodson was one of the greatest at his position, Darren Woodson not even top 5 at his, maybe not even top 10
You are correct!

MY ERROR - It is Charles Woodson in his first year of eligibility, not Darren WoodsonFinalists breakdown by position:
QB- 1
DL-2__DE, DE\DT
OL- 2 __T, G
LB- 3
WR- 3
DB- 4 ___S, FS, DB, DB
Four defensive backs made the finalists list over him.
The bulk of Woody's career was simultaneous with two careers-
Leroy Butler 1990-2001__all with the Packers; 12 seasons
John Lynch 1993-2003___Buccaneers, 2004-2007 Broncos; 15 seasons
Darren Woodson 1992-2003__all with the Cowboys; 12 seasons (11as starter)
Last half of Darren's career was simultaneous with the other two beginning their careers-
Ronde Barber 1997-2012__all with the Buccaneers; 13 seasons
Charles Woodson 1998-2005 Packers, 2006-2012 Raiders, 2013-2015 Packers; 18 seasons
A positive note going forward- this was Woodson's first year of eligibility.
30 Pittsburgh Steelers in HOF, 26 Green Bay Packers. Cowboys have 16 and there are people who say there are too many Cowboys in HOF already.
Woodson robbed again. One of the best safeties to ever play. Ever. Robbed again. At this rate, D Ware will get in before him.
Charles Woodson is a lock for HOF. Comparing Charles to Darren and using pass defense stats does not tell the whole story. To me Darren was a strong safety who was excellent versus the run and the pass. Charles was more a free safety/ corner hybrid whose forte was pass defense.

Woody has been eligible for at least 10 years I think. No one is complaining about him not getting in over Charles, for gosh sakes. He should already be in!Charles Woodson is a lock for HOF.

You can't use that to explain why Woodson hasn't made the HoF in over 10 years. The problem is strong safeties aren't valued by the judges as much as free safeties. If you ever watched him play, you'd understand the love many fans have for him.Make that 11 championships between the Steelers and Packers.

Make that 13 championships between the Steelers and Packers. I left out the more recent ones. Those championships got a lot of those players in the Hall of Fame.
