Green Bay Packers 2010 Player Evaluations – Defense – Charles Woodson
1) Introduction: As a free agent in 2006, cornerback Charles Woodson was not wanted by 31 of the 32 NFL teams. They thought he was a player in decline and that thanks to those supposedly diminishing skills, it wasn’t worth putting up with his antics. Well, the one team that wanted him got him, and needless to say the Green Bay Packers are pretty happy with what Woodson has become. Despite getting his relationship with then-rookie head coach Mike McCarthy in 2006, Woodson has evolved into one of the best corners in the game and the veteran leader of the Packers locker room. The whole world got to see his leadership in the aftermath of this year’s NFC Championship as well as the reports from the locker room during Super Bowl XLV. In 2009, Woodson was named NFL Defensive Player of the Year but fell short of his ultimate goal of winning a Super Bowl. While his statistics may not have been as gaudy in 2010, Woodson finally had his dream fulfilled and won a ring.
