For Green Bay Packer's conerback Charles Woodson, next week's super bowl in Dallas will have been eight years in the making. We all remember Woodson's seemingly game clinching sack and forced fumble on New England's Tom Brady in the 2002 playoffs. It seems that Woodson is known more for being victimized by the "tuck rule" than for being one of the special football talents of the past decade. Woodson lead the Michigan Wolverines to an undefeated season and national championship in 1997. Woodson also became the first primarily defensive player to win the Heisman trophy, a feat that remains to this day. And let's not forget that Woodson was also a dangerous receiver, and one of the most feared return men in the nation.
Woodson continued to produce in the nfl, earning defensive rookie of the year honors in 1998. Thirteen years later, Woodson is the reigning defensive player of the year. Throw in seven pro bowl appearances and six all pro selections. The only thing missing from this hall of fame resume is a championship ring.
