Green Bay — Every day is a learning experience for Aaron Ripkowski as the rookie fullback continues carving a niche with the Green Bay Packers.
The sixth-round draft choice is always willing to contribute in any way he can to the team's success.
His work ethic, intelligence and potential are key reasons the Green Bay coaches made the move to keep two fullbacks on the 53-man roster. He earned his keep with his outstanding play on special teams during the exhibition season.
Fullback John Kuhn is 33 years old and the proven veteran, while the 6-foot-1, 255-pound Ripkowski is his understudy — and the future.
