In the 2025 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots prioritized their offense but surprised many by selecting safety Craig Woodson from Cal with the 106th pick. Although considered an overdraft, Woodson's experience as a three-year starter, coupled with his skills in various defensive positions, makes him a valuable asset for the team. His confidence in transitioning to the NFL is bolstered by his extensive experience in different coverage schemes, and he believes he can contribute effectively to the Patriots' secondary under new head coach Mike Vrabel.
I don't think it's going to be anything too difficult for me. I think I'm going to come in and really transition easily.
At Cal, we ran every bit of coverage you could think of... I have the experience with both sides of the safety range.
With the man coverage they do, and just putting me at a single high or putting quarters, I think I have comfortability with that and just making the communication.
