Woods noted Monday that he is well-aware of the Vikings high standard on defense, even if the unit didn't meet those expectations in 2020.
"I love it. It was another reason why [I came here]. I talked to him, the conversation we had," Woods said of Zimmer and his reputation. "It made me want to come here [more] with the conversation we had and what we talked about. From afar, I've seen his defensive scheme and the positions and the culture around here. I wanted to be a part of it.
"These guys wanted me. The Vikings wanted me," Woods also added. "I talked to Coach [Zimmer] and he told me that I had an opportunity to come and play. That's all I can ask for, the opportunity and, like I said, I told my agent that I wanted to be here."
Time will tell if Woods can make the impact that both he and the Vikings want on the defense in 2021.
But as the calendar flips to April, there is plenty of excitement about the newest member of the Vikings secondary.
"I'm ready to go to work," Woods said.
