I shudder to think of my Packers ever leaving GB! Yikes....cringe!
Watching the replay of the game now. They asked is he going into Canton as a Raider or a Packer, he said, BOTH! But he wouldn't say who would be the speaker....I'm guessing it's not Darren Sharper!
A total class act, I hated seeing him leave Oakland. I knew he would make a healthy comeback but it was during the senile years of Al Davis. Woodson had a lot of nagging issues then finally a couple injury plagued seasons ended it. After blowing a shoulder then breaking a leg Davis labeled him as damaged goods and that's when the Packers picked him up.
I was ok with the move, I like the Pack. After losing a Super Bowl with the Raiders I was happy he got a ring with the Packers even tho he sat out most of that game. I supported him in Green Bay, he brought a lot to their defense. Set some team records I think....
But to have him finish where he started has been enjoyable as a fan for the last couple years and more so because he still has a full tank. So smart, takes great angles and a head for the ball. Had a great year last season and solid this season. He made two game ending/saving INT's this year.
Watching him pick Peyton off twice in a game this year was a sweet finish since he said out of respect before the game he never had but always wanted to pick off Peyton. Then BANG BANG...Two for one sale.
18 seasons, made the pro-bowl in three different decades. A hell of a career.
