Woodson is generally considered to be the greatest NFL defensive back ever, so making the College Hall of Fame was a snap. His Purdue teams were rarely great, but he was a two-time All-American at Purdue as a cornerback and once as a return man. He was also a three-time All-B1G selection and single-handedly beat Indiana in his final game. All told he had 13 individual records by the time he left Purdue, and this was also while winning five Big Ten championships in track and nearly going to the Olympics.

So congratulations to one of Purdue's all-time greats!
