The New England Patriots’ Charles Woods, a 26-year-old cornerback, played a limited role in 2025, primarily serving as a backup and special teamer due to the strong performances of starters Christian Gonzalez, Carlton Davis, and Marcus Jones. After being claimed off waivers from the Rams, Woods participated in 19 games, contributing 10 tackles and excelling in special teams with five tackles. Despite showcasing solid potential, his roster spot for 2026 is uncertain as he faces competition from younger cornerbacks. Woods will need to improve his defensive skills and maintain his special teams value to secure his place on the team.
