Thanks for the Memories, John Kuhn
KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHN. The famous coo that would fill up the Lambeau seats was one of the best things in the late 2000s. The fullback played a vital role in Green Bay’s success in the Super Bowl year and many years after. He is definitely part of the Aaron Rodgers story. The Packers quarterback saw him as a good friend of his and someone who gained his respect. Yesterday, Kuhn files his retirement papers and retired as a Packer. Something that was coming sooner rather than later as the former fullback has been out of football since 2017. Even though he’s a folk hero by Packers fan, he had a great career at the fullback.
I do think you’ll start seeing Kuhn more on TV and other places in the media in the State of Wisconsin. It appears he might be living here or trying to bring some roots back to the state that showed him the most love. I don’t see him pulling a Jason witten based on his comments to Jsson Wilde on ESPN Wisconsin explaining how it’s hard on the body to come back after a year off of football. Kuhn is now two years removed from the New Orleans Saints. It makes sense that he would want to hang it up now.
Thanks again, Jon.
