5. Charles Woodson

Charles Woodson has a great mind. He can think and strategize so quickly that changing position has not mattered throughout his career. Woodson made switches from various positions with ease. When he was 38 years old, he was asked by Raiders to switch to free safety from corner. Woodson didn’t break a sweat and did it with ease. Sports psychologists have attributed this quality to high level of intellect.
