Interview Questions For Green Bay Packers Sack Master Aaron Kampman

There is no bigger buzz surrounding the Green Bay Packers than their switch to the 3-4 defense.

Mainly, Packers fans are anxious to see how their defensive leader, Aaron Kampman, will respond to the move from defensive end to outside linebacker.

Kampman had been one of the most productive ends in football the past few seasons, recording 9.5, 12 and 15.5 sacks in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

If I was granted an interview with Aaron Kampman, here are the questions I would ask him:

1. Everyone wants to know about the switch to the 3-4, how does the new defense look?

2. I would imagine changing positions after the success you have had is a tough thing.  Has the move grown on you, or is it something you are still a little reluctant about?

3. Did you refine your off-season workout routine at all to fit your new role, or was it business as usual?

4. You played linebacker your first couple seasons in college at Iowa.  Do you think that experience will make the move to 3-4 outside linebacker easier?

5. Your versatility provides a ton of flexibility for this defense.  Will you get some time as a down lineman on third down passing situations?

6. The other big changes to the defense this year comes in the form of personnel.  What are your initial thoughts on rookies B.J. Raji and Clay Matthews?

7. Have you noticed any big differences between your new defensive boss, Dom Capers, and your old one, Bob Sanders?

8. What is it like working with new linebackers coach Kevin Greene, one of the most accomplished defensive players of his era?

9. Any thoughts of adopting his hairdo?

10. Of course, the other big news surrounded the NFL these days is the possibility of Brett Favre joining the Minnesota Vikings.  Do you have any thoughts on that?

11. Speaking of quarterbacks, what about the other newcomer, Jay Cutler?  Did you learn anything about him in that classic Monday night game a couple years back?

12. At this time last year, you were dealing with the tragic tornadoes that struck your home state of Iowa.  How much easier is it to return to work without those personal distractions this year?

13. Lastly, I have to ask you about your contract.  You are in the final year of your deal, and Packers fans everywhere are wondering about your future.  Have you had any talks about an extension, or are you saving that for the end of the year?

Thank you for the interview, and good luck this season.
