GREEN BAY, Wis. – On Day 1 of NFL free agency, the Green Bay Packers agreed to terms with cornerback Nate Hobbs. Upon arriving to sign his contract, he was given jersey No. 21.
That was the same number worn by Charles Woodson, who reignited his Pro Football Hall of Fame career when he signed with the Packers in free agency in 2006.
The Packers can only dream that Hobbs will be as dominant as Woodson at cornerback, or that Aaron Banks will be as powerful in the trenches as Reggie White.
Woodson and White were named to the NFL’s All-Time Free Agency Team, as selected by Fox Sports’ Ralph Vacchiano.
