Rod Woodson is the current head coach of XFL side Vegas Vipers. Unfortunately, his stint with the team hasn't gotten off to the best of starts as the Vipers are 0-2 after Week 2.
Woodson's return to coaching has drawn a lot of attention to his personal life and fans have also been curious to learn more about his wife, Nickie Woodson.
Rod and Nickie tied the knot in 1992 and have been married for more than 30 years. The couple has five children together, namely Jairus, Marikah, Nemiah, Demitrius, and Tia.
However, Nickie chooses to keep her life private and rarely appears in public with her husband. She is also not very active on social media.
Rod often credits his wife for being a long-standing support during his playing career in the NFL. Over the past few years, Woodson has taken to social media to post heartfelt tributes to his wife on her birthday, which is on December 6.
