Blogged under Positional Previews, Bloglockers, Front Page, General by admin on Wednesday 7 July 2010 at 10:22 am

The Packers use their fullbacks essentially as extra linemen as their main focus is blocking.  26-year old Korey Hall is atop the depth chart heading into training camp.  He played in 11 games (5 starts) for the Packers last season in which he caught 5 passes for 41 yards (8.2 avg).  He has now played in 36 games (20 starts) in his NFL career and he has yet to carry the ball.  But he has caught 20 passes for 128 yards (6.4 avg) with 1 TD grab.

23-year old Quinn Johnson is a big guy at 6′0″, 251 pounds.  He played in 9 games (0 starts) as a rookie last season for the Packers.  Johnson caught 2 passes for 4 yards (2.0 avg) last year.  He is a solid blocker but not much of a threat with the ball in his hands.

27-year old John Kuhn is listed #3 on the depth chart heading into training camp.  Kuhn played in 14 games (6 starts) for the Packers last season in which he carried the ball 8 times for 18 yards (2.3 ypc).  He also caught 7 passes for 47 yards (6.7 avg) with 2 TD grabs last season.  Kuhn has now played in 55 games (10 starts) in his NFL career and he has carried the ball 18 times for 46 yards (2.6 ypc) with 2 TD runs.  He has also caught 14 passes for 90 yards (6.4 avg) with 4 TD grabs in his career.
