Charles Woodson
Green Bay Packers cornerback Charles Woodson tied for the NFL lead with seven interceptions last season, the second time in the past three years (2009) he has shared the league lead. Woodson earned his eighth career Pro Bowl selection and fourth in a row as a Packer, becoming the first Green Bay cornerback to earn four consecutive All-Star berths since Pro Football Hall of Famer HERB ADDERLEY (1963-67).
Woodson, who had a 30-yard interception-return touchdown in Week 4 last year, has 11 career INT-TDs, tied for the second-most in NFL history. He needs one interception-return touchdown to tie Pro Football Hall of Famer ROD WOODSON (12) for the most all-time.

"When I first started watching Charles on tape, it reminded me of when I went to Pittsburgh in 1992 and watched Rod Woodson," says Packers defensive coordinator DOM CAPERS, a former Steelers assistant. "We moved Rod around so he could blitz and be closer to the action. We basically use Charles the same way we used Rod back then."
Charles Woodson has recorded at least one INT-TD in six consecutive seasons and is the only player in NFL history to accomplish the feat. No other player in league annals has recorded an interception-return touchdown in more than four consecutive seasons.
