Charles Woodson was ‘different breed’ of defensive player
Charles Woodson started his NFL career as a can't-miss prospect with the Oakland Raiders, but it took a rebirth in Green Bay eight years later to seal his destiny as a Pro Football Hall of Famer.
It was in Green Bay, where Woodson won a Super Bowl, earned Associated Press Defensive Player of the Year honors, made four more Pro Bowls and picked off 38 of his 65 career interceptions.
It also was with the Packers that Woodson was free to fully exploit his rare talents by lining up as a roving, off-the-ball defender and not just a back-to-the-ball, cover corner.
Following the Packers' 2010 Super Bowl season, secondary coach Joe Whitt Jr. noted how Woodson had been used as a spy against Philadelphia's electrifying running quarterback Michael Vick; assigned to cover receivers as different as Detroit's towering speedster Calvin Johnson and New England's undersized and shifty Wes Welker; and fill gaps against bigger, explosive backs in the running game.
Alabama football players respond to Michigan coaching search rumors ahead of CFP
Michigan's unexpected entry in this season's coaching carousel following the firing of Sherrone Moore sparked conversation surrounding potential candidates with Alabama's Kalen DeBoer considered among the best fits.
Finishing up his second season with the Crimson Tide after taking Washington to the 2023 national championship game, DeBoer is 19-7 at Alabama and has a first-round playoff game next weekend as the No. 9 seed.
"Yeah, of course we see it on TV, but I mean, he's gave his best effort here," Alabama wideout Ryan Williams said from practice. "Focused on playing against Oklahoma, we're not really worried about it. … I mean, at the end of the day, he serves us 100% and that's our coach, so we're going to play for him. External noise is external noise, so we just focus on the internal."

Michigan football coach search latest news: Kenny Dillingham staying put
Sherrone Moore's firing and arrest have cast the Wolverines' program into disarray. Biff Poggi will serve as interim coach and lead Michigan in the Citrus Bowl against Texas. Who takes over after that (and who gets to make that call) remains unclear.
Nearly all of the coaching vacancies have been filled, but a job as big as Michigan shouldn't be affected by the calendar — though ideally you'd want a new coach in before the transfer portal opens Jan. 2.
The Arizona State coach announced after Saturday bowl practice he will be staying in Tempe. He had been linked as a potential candidate to fill the job at Michigan.
