PITTSBURGH -- Pitt Panthers cornerback A.J. Woods will get his shot at the NFL despite going undrafted this spring, as the Washington Commanders inked him to an undrafted free agent deal following the conclusion of the 2024 draft.
Woods spent five seasons with the Panthers from 2019-23, playing in 59 games and starting in 14 contests. He made 102 tackles , 7.0 tackles for loss, 2.0 sacks, four interceptions, 25 passes defended and one forced fumble in his collegiate career.
