I was going to write about the Packer tidbits that came out of the Super Bowl on Sunday, but instead with the news of Willie Wood last night, my thoughts have changed.
The Lombardi Era legend and Pro Football Hall of Famer, safety Willie Wood passed away at the age of 83 on Monday Night.
Willie Wood played for the Green Bay Packers from 1960 through 1971 and ranks second in team history with 48 career interceptions. He was the starting safety on all five of Lombardi’s championships. Wood was also regarded as one of the best open field tacklers in all of football.
