Rod Woodson tells of struggles with Pittsburgh Steelers coaching staff

The All-Pro safety never disappointed in Pittsburgh. From the first-round of the 1987 NFL Draft to his final game with the Steelers in 1996, Rod Woodson was one of the greatest. A hard-hitting playmaker defensive back who brought all the defensive football fans and the city wanted.

But it wasn’t as good Monday through Saturday as it seemed on Sundays. In a tell-all with Dan Patrick, Woodson revealed that he had plenty of struggles with the coaching staff throughout his time with the Steelers.

From coaches threatening him to not understanding the strategy these new coaches used as motivation, Woodson was fed up with the antics of the new staff from day one, and it only got worse as time went on.
