Woodson made the announcement ahead of Thursday’s game, which with be the final home game of his career.
That game should have been in Green Bay, but that’s another story.
Woodson says he’s stepping away from the game because he’s just not interested in playing anymore.
“Honestly, I think physically I could do it — my body has responded. But mentally, it’s not there. It’s not gonna happen,” Woodson said.
He has 65 tackles and five picks this season.
And, oh yeah. He’s probably the baddest motherfucker to ever roam a secondary.
