[March 07, 2019]    Popular Green Bay Packers fullback John Kuhn will officially retire as a member of the team, general manager Brian Gutekunst announced Wednesday.

 

Kuhn played for nine seasons (2007-15) with the Packers, with enthusiastic choruses of "Kuuuuhn" greeting his every touch at Lambeau Field.

"John was a terrific football player and tremendous teammate who contributed to many years of success for the Packers," Gutekunst said. "He was a true professional whose work ethic and leadership set a great example both on the field and in the locker room. We want to thank John and his family for all they did for the Packers and in the community as well as wish them nothing but the best."

Kuhn, 36, made three Pro Bowls with Green Bay and was a first-team All-Pro selection in 2014. He helped the team reach the playoffs eight times, winning five division titles and Super Bowl XLV.

He played in 139 games with the Packers, rushing 196 times for 601 yards and 15 touchdowns and catching 81 passes for 557 yards and eight scores.

Kuhn began his NFL career with one season in Pittsburgh (2006) and finished it with two seasons in New Orleans (2016-17).
