GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Aaron Rodgers hasn't forgotten. As the Green Bay Packers quarterback stood at his locker Wednesday afternoon, talking about the prospect of facing his longtime friend and former teammate Charles Woodson in Sunday's game at Oakland, Rodgers transported himself back in time to 2006 and 2007, when he was still backing up Brett Favre and Woodson was in his first two seasons in Green Bay.
There was nothing Rodgers worried about more during his days on the scout team than throwing an interception to Woodson. Viewing those snaps as a proving ground where he could show his teammates and coaches he was a worthy successor to the iconic Favre, Rodgers desperately wanted to avoid the kind of mistakes he knew Woodson would capitalize on.
