Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters grew up in Oakland and modeled his play after Charles Woodson, so it was fitting that his team squared off against the Raiders in the future Hall of Famer’s final NFL game on Sunday.
What happened after the game was the ultimate display of respect, as Peters bowed down to Woodson on the field while players were shaking hands. Woodson and Peters then had a warm embrace, and they did not just high-five one another. No, they hugged it out and Peters shed a few tears during the heartfelt moment.
Peters has put together a stellar 2015 campaign and is certainly in the Defensive Rookie of the Year conversation, and it was great to see him show respect to one of the best cornerbacks to ever play the game. Remember when he did this?
