Packers defensive coordinator Dom Capers said the first player he spoke to after getting hired was Aaron Kampman, who will play outside linebacker in the Packers new 3-4 defense.
He came up to my office, said Capers, Aaron being as conscientious as he is. Kampman is moving from defensive end in the 4-3 to linebacker, and inquired about his ideal playing weight.
I told him dont get too hung up on the weight, said Capers. You know what weight you can move the best.
For me to sit here and say I want you at this weight is wrong. Kampmans playing weight last season was around 265 pounds.
Capers said he has no reservations about Kampman playing linebacker. We talked and I think Aarons excited about it and were excited about Aaron, said Capers.
