It’s always a pleasure to reblog stories written by Mark Tomasik over at retrosimba.com.

This week, Mark wrote about former Fighting Illini star Abe Woodson, who was an All-Pro performer for the San Francisco 49ers and was later traded to the Cardinals for John David Crow.

Woodson played two years for the Cardinals as a return specialist and cornerback. He intercepted four passes and recovered a fumble in 13 starts with the Big Red.
