The Packers’ roll call of great cornerbacks might not match some other positions in terms of numbers, but Herb Adderley and Charles Woodson would certainly be on the short list of the NFL’s greatest cornerback tandems per franchise.
Seventeen cornerbacks have been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, although three of them also played safety for stretches of their careers. Now that he has retired, Woodson, who also moved to safety late in his career, will have to wait five years before he’s inducted into Canton. But he’s virtually a cinch to get the call.
Adderley played nine of his 12 NFL seasons in Green Bay.
