John Kuhn 2.0: Fullback Aaron Ripkowski earns respect of Packers

Editor’s note: Jason Wilde covers the Green Bay Packers for ESPN Wisconsin.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- John Kuhn was on his way back from Atlanta with his New Orleans Saints teammates last Sunday night, so he didn’t get to watch the entire game. Although the veteran fullback and Green Bay Packers folk hero moved on to a new NFL home this season, he still keeps tabs on his former team -- at least, when the Saints’ charter doesn’t prevent it -- and his protégé/successor Aaron Ripkowski in particular.
