According to the Big Lead, Charles Woodson, the 9-time Pro Bowl defensive back who retired as a member of the Oakland Raiders following the 2015 season, will be joining ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown team next season.
ESPN hasn’t commented about his addition but sources say an official announcement will come later this month.
Woodson, who spent 18 years in the NFL – will replace Keyshawn Johnson, who left ESPN last month. He’s expected to join Chris Berman, Tom Jackson, Mike Ditka and Cris Carter on the show. More changes could be coming to Countdown after the 2016 season.
