The Forgotten Legend of Packers Number Six | Green Bay Packers News
Description
Number six on the Green Bay Packers jersey might not ring a bell, but it belonged to Whitey Woodin—a gritty, durable Hall of Famer who played a full decade for the team and earned three NFL championships. Known for his toughness, he played through a broken ankle in college and never missed a single practice for nine years. Though he only suited up in two games in his final season, he scored the only touchdown of his career on an interception return and kicked extra points. Inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame in 1973, Woodin’s legacy as a two-way standout and relentless workhorse still echoes through the franchise’s early history.
