Peyton manning Charles Woodson



This. Peyton was robbed.

Peyton was great, but Woodson was the most outstanding player. He was gigantic in every big game they played and played huge on both sides of the ball (and even on special teams). He had big catches in numerous games, 7 interceptions, and also shut down a side of the field.

In the Ohio State game (obviously the biggest game), he had a 78-yard punt return for a TD, a huge catch, and a huge interception as Ohio State was trying to score. And Michigan hasn't won a national title since Woodson.

His phenomenal NFL career proved that he wasn't a fluke either with 9 pro-bowl seasons. I believe he is tied for the most pick 6s in NFL history too.

Peyton not winning was part media hype “let’s vote for a defensive player for change!” But mostly Woodson played amazing in Michigan’s big rivalry game while those were the days when QBs were punished for not winning the big one and Peyton could not get over the spurrier / Gator hump. JD beating Bama last year was huge.
