Cornerback Charles Woodson has also been an outspoken supporter of collective bargaining rights.
Six recall elections are being held in Wisconsin Tuesday, including one for governor. Republican Gov. Scott Walker, who backed controversial anti-union legislation in the state, faces a challenge from Democratic Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett.
