Packers free-agent signing will wear Charles Woodson’s number

Hey, remember when the Green Bay Packers signed cornerback Charles Woodson from the Raiders and he ended up making four All-Pro teams with Green Bay on the way to a Lombardi Trophy? Well, the Packers are apparently trying to recapture a little of that magic.

According to free-agent signing Nate Hobbs’ Instagram story, the team is going to give him the number 21, which was previously worn by Woodson.

Notably, former first-round safety Darnell Savage Jr. attempted to change his number to 21 during his rookie season but remained with number 26, which he wore at one point at Maryland.
