Raiders: Training camp like a vacation for veteran Woodson
Future Hall of Famer Charles Woodson hasn’t missed a training camp practice yet, after not missing an offseason workout this year for the fist time in his career.
Why would he? This is like a vacation in Napa compared with the old days for the Raiders’ safety.
“I tell these guys all the time that when I first came in, practices were a lot different,” Woodson, 38, said. “You put the pads on more. Guys had to bang a lot more, and you were putting on the pads twice a day. Training camps are a lot different these days.
“For me, I find it hard to come out here and complain about practicing when it’s not how it used to be.
