Packer Fullback Thrills Fans During Escanaba Visit

ESCANABA---Green Bay Packer fullback John Kuhn used his day off Tuesday to come to the Upper Peninsula to meet Yooper Packer fans.

Escanaba High School football player Jake Walker poses with a Kuhn signed jersey
Kuhn spent about 90 minutes at the Escanaba Wal-Mart store, and one by one, Packers fans of all ages filed by to get their picture taken with the 6-foot, 250-pound fullback.

Kuhn also signed dozens of autographs, either on pictures provided by the team, or items that fans brought to the store with them.

Kuhn's visit was sponsored by the Frito-Lay snack company. He did not grant media interviews during his Escanaba visit.

The Packers travel to St. Louis on Sunday to face the Rams.

Kick off is 1:00 E.T. Radio coverage begins on the Central U.P.'s Voice of Packer Football, WGLQ-FM (97.1), starting at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday.
