Former NFL defensive back Rod Woodson said it is "more difficult" for Hall of Fame players to get assistant coaching jobs because head coaches prefer lower-profile voices.
"I think having that gold jacket and having that respect walking in the room, sometimes other people don't want that in the room," Woodson told TMZ Sports. "They want one alpha in the room, and I'm not a real alpha where I want somebody's job. I just love talking ball."
Woodson has coached for the Cincinnati Bengals, Denver Broncos and Raiders but has been out of the NFL since 2017.
