Woodson signed with the Packers in 2006 and in seven seasons in Green Bay, he helped the Packers win 10-plus games five times. Of his nine career Pro Bowl selections, four came with Green Bay (2008-11), and he earned two (2009, 2011) of his four first-team All-Pro selections from The Associated Press while with the Packers while also being selected second-team All-Pro by the AP twice during his tenure in Green Bay (2008, 2010). In 2009, Woodson was named NFL Defensive Player of the Year by AP after leading the league with nine interceptions, tied for the second most in a season in Packers history. He became only the second Packer to win the award (DE Reggie White, 1998) and the oldest defensive back to earn the honor. Woodson is the only player in franchise history to lead the league in INTs two times (2009, 2011).
