MOST POPULAR PLAYER: JOHN KUHN, FULLBACK
Kuhn was a training camp addition to the Saints following the 10 year veteran’s release from the Green Bay Packers.
He showed immediately that he would be a versatile influence on the New Orleans offense. Saints fans rocked the walls of the Mercedes Benz Superdome with chants of “KUUUUUUUHHHNN” whenever the 34 year old got the ball.
The hard-nosed, throwback style Kuhn also showed good ability around the goal line, contributing 4 rushing touchdowns and one more through the air.
Kuhn is an unrestricted free agent now heading into the off-season, but yet one that the Saints may be able to resign at a reasonable salary.
