""He's been balling," Hawkins said of Woodson, who led the NFL with 30 postseason tackles. "I'm so proud of him, especially to see his growth throughout the season and knowing him since he was a freshman in college. "Coming into this league, starting off the jump as a rookie. I'm proud of him. I respect the hell out of him. He's my brother.""
""It was a blessing, regardless of whether we lost," said Woodson, who played at Cal from 2019 to 2024 before he was drafted in the fourth round by the Patriots in 2025. "It was a blessing just to be here and have the opportunity to be on that field and impact the game. "I'm always going to be grateful just to have the opportunity to do that.""
