GREEN BAY - Early in the Green Bay Packers’ 2006 training camp, after a night practice, Charles Woodson and Mike McCarthy strolled around the north end of Clarke Hinkle Field under the lights conducting what looked like a deep conversation that seemed to last forever.
It was Woodson’s first camp with the Packers, and at age 29 and entering his ninth season in the NFL he was less than thrilled about playing in what’s by far the NFL’s smallest city.
He had two first-team All-Pro awards and four Pro Bowl appearances on his resume, but all came in his first four seasons with the Oakland Raiders.
