Woodson’s Near-Miss with Joe Greene | Pittsburgh Steelers News
Description
Rod Woodson spills the tea on his rookie blunder—oversleeping a Friday practice after his girlfriend sabotaged his alarm and unplugged the landline. Enter “Mean” Joe Greene, pounding on his door at noon, demanding he get to the stadium. Woodson’s dog story to Coach Chuck Noll? Noll didn’t buy it, but hey, who wants to face Joe Greene twice? Woodson, later hailed as the second-greatest cornerback ever (behind Deion Sanders), had a 17-year career with 71 picks, 11 Pro Bowls, and Super Bowl glory in Baltimore. But the real legend? The locker room tales, like Greene’s intimidating presence, that still echo decades later.
