Charles Woodson is one of the very few shut down cornerbacks in the NFL today. When he signed with the Packers this offseason, he immediately updated a secondary that has had problems in recent years.
Proof of his ability can be seen in games, when his name is rarely called because nobody wants to throw the ball in his direction. He can cover a team’s best receiver and you don’t have to worry about him making too many mistakes against him.
If there’s a knock on Woodson it’s his tendency to get injured and miss games throughout the season. If he can overcome that, he might be able to salvage his career and become a hall of famer by the time he retires.
Until then, he’s the Packers best free agent acquisition in years.
