Wells, Kampman to be featured alumni this week




September 14, 2018

The Green Bay Packers are welcoming back featured alumni Scott Wells and Aaron Kampman for the Packers-Vikings game on Sunday, Sept. 16.

Leading up to the game, the alumni will be signing autographs and visiting with fans outside the Lambeau Field Atrium, near the Lambeau Leap statue, on Saturday, Sept. 15, from 11 a.m. to noon.

Wells will be visiting with fans and signing autographs at surprise locations around Lambeau Field on gameday from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Kampman will be visiting with fans and signing autographs during that same time in the Legends Club on the Associated Bank Club Level, an area accessible to game attendees with suite or club seat tickets, as a guest of the ‘Alumni Meet and Greet.’

Selected in the seventh round of the NFL Draft out of Tennessee in 2004, Scott Wells played eight seasons (2004-11) for the Green Bay Packers. After seeing his first game action on special teams and as a backup, Wells earned the starting center job in 2006 and went on to start all 16 games, missing only two offensive snaps all season. Known for his textbook technique and explosive strength, he was a key blocker in RB Ryan Grant’s back-to-back 1,200-yard rushing seasons (2008-09). Wells played center in 111 games during his Packers career, starting in 100 of them, and was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2011.

Selected in the fifth round of the NFL Draft out of Iowa in 2002, Aaron Kampman played eight seasons for the Green Bay Packers. One of the team’s premier pass-rushers during his time in Green Bay, Kampman’s 54 career sacks ranks fifth in franchise history. Over the course of his career, he evolved from a dependable, every-down player into an elite, game-changing performer. He was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2006 and 2007, and was named second-team All-Pro both years by The Associated Press. Kampman finished his career with 592 tackles (386 solo), 12 passes defensed, 13 forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries.
