Blackmon's big moment? A family reunion

Packers cornerback Will Blackmon went home to Warwick, R.I., last weekend to have his jersey retired at Bishop Hendricken High School.

He spoke to the students -- here's a slideshow -- and was asked about his best NFL moment.

It isn't what you think. It isn't last season's game against the Oakland Raiders, when he scored two touchdowns on special teams.

No, it was last season's game against the Dallas Cowboys. Bill Reynolds of the Providence Journal picks up the story:

"He looked across the field and saw his cousin Deon Anderson across the field. The same Deon Anderson who also had grown up in Providence and played against him in youth football. Two kids from inner-city Providence now both in the NFL, and what had been the chance of that happening when they were kids."

After the game, Blackmon ran across the field and hugged Anderson, a fullback for the Cowboys.
