Where is kuhn of the packers from

Multiple reports have surfaced over the past couple of months that the nine-time Pro Bowler wanted out of Green Bay, but the Packers have remained hellbent on not trading him.

With the feud between Rodgers and the organization nowhere near a compromise, what will happen next remains unknown. But John Kuhn, a longtime fullback for Green Bay who spent nine years as Rodgers' teammates, believes the quarterback will return to the Packers before the season and play for the organization again.

I personally believe nothing is going to happen until training camp," Kuhn said on the Sports Junkies. And I believe the only team he can play for this year is the Green Bay Packers. As for when Rodgers will return? Kuhn thinks it could go well into training camp, with the quarterback not showing up until potentially the final preseason game. This is a guy that through 16 years of his career, has never missed one voluntary practice, let alone anything mandatory," Kuhn said.

While Rodgers might still have his reservations about playing for Green Bay again, Kuhn thinks what will ultimately bring the quarterback back to the Packers is his desire to compete. I can't see him sitting out," Kuhn said. For much of the offseason, Rodgers has remained quiet about his feelings towards Green Bay. By not showing up to offseason activities, the three-time MVP did not address the media, either.

However, in a recent interview with Kenny Mayne to celebrate the ESPN anchor's final SportsCenter show, Rodgers did say that his disappointment with the Packers has to do with "philosophy," not the draft pick of Jordan Love in , who likely will be Rodgers' successor eventually. When asked about that on Tuesday, Kuhn said that Rodgers and Love have a "great relationship" and that they genuinely enjoy being teammates together. Rather, where Rodgers' issue with the Packers lies has to do with a lack of respect.

Highly successful," Kuhn continued. But we can all do better in some spots, and I think that's where Aaron Rodgers is really pointing his finger. Rodgers sat behind Brett Favre for three years before Favre retired, paving the way for the current Packers star to finally get on the field.

Then, though, Favre unretired and tried to return to Green Bay. The Packers shipped him off to the Jets and stuck with Rodgers.

Kuhn, who was on the roster for the entire Favre-Packers falling out, believes that situation scarred Rodgers and that the year-old QB is trying to take more command of the rest of his career than his successor did. Kuhn began his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers in and was claimed off waivers by Green Bay in He finished his career playing two seasons with the New Orleans Saints, and officially retired as a Packer.

He finished his Shippensburg career with 4, yards rushing, 53 touchdowns, 5, all-purpose yards and 26 games with at least yards. Kuhn returned to Shippensburg University on Saturday, May 11, as the undergraduate commencement ceremony speaker. At Dover High, Kuhn starred at running back, rushing for 2, yards from through The Packers delivered in a big way, winning , and the "Kuuuuuuhn" chant hit its peak.

On his way to three overall touchdowns, fans were literally calling for Kuhn every time the Packers reached the redzone. That's right, 72, people in Lambeau Field were begging for this once-unknown fullback from Shippensburg University to enter the game and score the Packers' touchdowns. Despite his new folk hero status, Kuhn tries not to get caught up in it much. At the very least, he's figured out the fastest way to any fans' heart. It comes down to just winning games around here.

If you win games, they're going to like you. If you lose games, they're probably not going to like you. That's the goal is to win games. Kuhn has been vital to the Packers winning games this season.

While he ranks as Green Bay's third leading rusher behind Rodgers and Jackson, his short-yardage abilities, mixed in with his toughness and leadership, have helped ease the loss of Grant. This season, and his wanted or unwanted folk hero status, is just the culmination of a long journey for Kuhn to make it where he is now. He still credits his ties to his home town to his success in the NFL. That got instilled in high school. And I just tried to stick with it. That work ethic has turned Kuhn from being Arena Football League bound into a somebody—a somebody that has captured the hearts of Green Bay Packers fans across Titletown.

So no matter where you are watching or listening to the game—Lambeau Field, your living room, on the radio, even in road games—those aren't boos you're hearing. That's Packers fans chanting a man's last name who worked for every bit of success he's achieved in his football career. This article was featured on Sports Haze.
