Packers defensive back Charles Woodson has been named The Associated Press 2009 NFL Defensive Player of the Year. Woodson tied for the league lead with nine interceptions, returning three for touchdowns. "It's a great honor," Woodson said Tuesday. "I felt like I put a lot into the game, mentally and physically -- your body's always beat up -- and it's great to be recognized." Woodson received 28 votes Tuesday from a nationwide panel of 50 sportswriters and broadcasters who cover the NFL.
