Packers Roster as of April 30

Today I did a quick check of the Packers roster - counter 75 players.

Here is some recent news:

Cedric Benson - This article had the latest on Benson
Looks like Benson might be on the way out with the 2 running backs drafted.  I'm sure he will be on the back up list, but other NFL teams will keep him on their radar!

Ryan Grant - Grant is also off the roster and I think he is behind Benson.  So this may be the last time we see Ryan Grant is a Packer uniform.  He was a very dependable back & great professional.

Today we will look at Fullback, the one on the roster - John Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhn!

I am a little biased here, why?

1 - A central Pennsylvania athlete

2 - Was at his wedding!  Married a good friend Lindsey.  We are very close to her family!  A GREAT family, great Mom & Dad & little sis!!!

John is a "blue collar" running back from a division 2 school in Pennsylvania, Shippensburg!  He has become a kind of "folk" hero in Green Bay!

A coach on the field, does the dirty work, special teams, and helps protect the QB!  John has scored some BIG short yardage TD's - run & pass!

I think he is safe for the year, but with Lacy, his job may be in jeopardy!  I see the Packers moving to more tight ends & bigger faster backs in the back field!  One thing is for sure, John Kuhn is a football player!
