WR Shaun Bodiford will miss the entire 2008 season due to knee surgery.  He was going to have a hard time making the Packers anyway as he was pretty far down the depth chart.  Bodiford played in 6 games (0 starts) last season for the Packers and he caught 1 pass for 13 yards.  Bodiford played in six games in his NFL career prior to 2007 and he didn’t catch any passes.  The Packers won’t miss Bodiford in 2008.

The Green Bay Packers are set up allright at fullback for 2008

Korey Hall was a linebacker in college but he converted to fullback and won the starting job as a rookie.  Hall is 6′0″, 236 pounds and he’s a willing blocker and a decent receiver.  Hall played in 14 games (10 starts) for the Packers last season and he caught 8 passes for 49 yards (6.1 avg).  Look for the Packers to give him the football a few times in the running game this season to reward him for doing a good job.  He will be the starter at fullback for sure this season for the Packers and he will do a good job.

John Kuhn played a lot for the Packers last season as he played in all 16 games (1 start) last year and he caught 2 passes for 7 yards (3.5 avg).  Kuhn will likely backup Hall and play some on special teams in 2008 for the Packers.  Kuhn has now played in 25 games (1 start) in his NFL career and he has carried the ball 2 times for 16 yards (8.0 ypc).  He also has caught 3 passes for 22 yards (7.3 avg) in his career.

Corey White is #3 in line at fullback for the Packers this season.  He is 6′1″, 239 pounds but he doesn’t have any experience which leaves him behind Hall and Kuhn on the depth chart heading into the season.

PROJECTED GRADE FOR THE 2008 SEASON:  B-
