The Green Bay Packers have finalized part of their 2026 NFL Draft day plan, with franchise favorite John Kuhn set to play a featured role during the event. The former All-Pro fullback is scheduled to announce the franchise’s second- and third-round selections in Pittsburgh, adding another familiar face to an important weekend for the organization.
Green Bay enters the 2026 draft looking to build on a roster that remains competitive in the NFC. With a young core in place and expectations rising, the franchise is focused on adding impact talent that can help immediately while also strengthening long-term depth.
Kuhn’s involvement brings a strong connection between past and present. One of the most respected players of his era in Green Bay, he became known for his toughness, consistency and popularity with fans during successful seasons that included a Super Bowl championship.
Having Kuhn announce Day 2 selections also highlights the significance of those rounds. While first-round picks generate the most attention, second- and third-round choices often become foundational starters, especially for teams like Green Bay that have consistently relied on smart drafting and player development.
Green Bay Packers Plan for 2026 NFL Draft Day Revealed
Kuhn will be present at the 2026 NFL Draft to announce Green Bay’s selections. This is detailed more in a report by Mike Spofford for the team’s official website.
Former Packers fullback John Kuhn will be on-site in Pittsburgh at the 2026 NFL Draft to announce the Packers’ second- and third-round selections next Friday.
On Thursday, the NFL released the list of former players representing all 32 clubs who will be on hand to announce selections on Day 2 of the draft, which covers rounds 2-3.
A native of Pennsylvania who attended Shippensburg (Pa.) University, Kuhn was a three-time Pro Bowl and two-time All-Pro selection during his nine seasons (2007-15) with the Packers.
The franchise is expected to target several areas as they navigate the board, including positions that can improve both sides of the ball. Whether adding defensive speed, offensive line help or another playmaker, Green Bay’s front office has multiple opportunities to strengthen the roster beyond Round 1.
Draft weekend is always about the future, but the team’s plan also honors an important part of their past. With Kuhn representing one of the franchise’s beloved recent eras, Green Bay will try to combine nostalgia with smart roster building as it looks to take another step forward in 2026.
