GREEN BAY - In large part because of his outstanding play while reviving his career with the Green Bay Packers, Charles Woodson is now a first-ballot Pro Football Hall of Fame player.
Woodson on Saturday evening officially became the 27th member of the franchise voted into the Hall.
Among his accomplishments as a cornerback and later a safety with the Packers was winning the award as the NFL’s defensive player of the year in 2009, being named first-team All-Pro twice (2009 and ’11) and winning a Super Bowl in the 2010 season.
He’s also the only Packers player to lead the NFL in interceptions in two seasons (’09 and ’11) and ranks fourth on the team’s all-time interceptions list with 38.
