Woodson, however, will be bringing home some hardware as he's been named this year's Defensive Player of the Year. The award should come as no surprise, as Woodson was the NFL Defensive Player of the Month three out of four times this season, although that still didn't stop the ever-increasing douchebag Rex Ryan from trying to knock Woodson down a few pegs (seriously, weak). Still, Woodson no doubt deserved the award, finishing the season with nine interceptions with three of them going back for touchdowns. He's also a Pro Bowl starter, and the first Packer to win the award since Reggie White in 1998.
It's a nice consolation for Woodson, who said he was having a dream about the Super Bowl before someone woke him up to tell him about the honor. You worry that as Woodson gets older - he's 33 - sooner or later the skills will start to diminish. But Woodson has been the opposite, a player that only gets better with age. Here's to hoping we can grab a Super Bowl title with him while that fact is still true.
