090109collinswoodson215.jpg



Cornerback Charles Woodson and safety Nick Collins, the Packers' two Pro Bowl starters, have received second-team All-Pro recognition from The Associated Press.

This marks the first time since 1967 that two Packers from the secondary have been recognized on the AP All-Pro team. That year, safety Willie Wood was a first-team pick and cornerback Herb Adderley was a second-teamer.

The AP voting for All-Pro was released on Friday. Woodson finished third at cornerback behind first-team selections Nnamdi Asomugha of Oakland and Cortland Finnegan of Tennessee, while Collins finished tied for fourth at safety behind first-teamers Ed Reed of Baltimore and Troy Polamalu of Pittsburgh and fellow second-teamer Adrian Wilson of Arizona. Philadelphia's Quintin Mikell tied with Collins for the other second-team spot.

Woodson and Collins finished tied for the team and NFC lead with seven interceptions apiece in 2008. That total was second only to Reed's nine in the league. The duo combined for five touchdowns on interception returns. Collins posted a league-high three, while Woodson had a career-best two.
