ALAMEDA — It’s no secret Bruce Irvin doesn’t like Rod Woodson.

The Raiders edge rusher took offense earlier this offseason when Woodson trashed Jon Gruden and his move for Jordy Nelson while on Fox Sports 1.

Irvin responded with a series of tweets accusing the former Oakland defensive backs coach, who was fired amid the change in coaching staff, of being one of the first coaches to leave the building after work.

On Friday, both Woodson and Irvin found themselves inside AT&T Stadium for the NFL Draft. Woodson was there to announce the Steelers’ second-round pick and Irvin was announcing Oakland’s third-round selection as the team’s Walter Payton Man of the Year honoree.

Irvin took to Twitter again inside the stadium to let everyone know, maybe jokingly, that he had his eye on the Hall of Famer.

Then he found him…

Woodson, 53, then responded to Irvin with his own tweet. He challenged Irvin to meet him face-to-face instead of calling him out on social media.

Irvin chimed back, part of which included, “U a sucka that’s what it is.” And that was that.

No word on if the two ever exchanged pleasantries in Texas, and Irvin surely won’t elaborate once camp ramps up here in Alameda.
