Way to go Kampman.From Journal-Sentinel online.
During the first 15 years of Green Bay's football renaissance, no player ever even came close to challenging Reggie White's best season for knockdowns.
Aaron Kampman did more than come close in 2007. He surpassed it.
White was 31 years old and still in the prime of his career in 1993, when he registered 15 sacks and 29 knockdowns in 18 games. Since then, the closest any player had come to 29 knockdowns was defensive end John Thierry, who had a mere 17 1/2 in 2000.
Kampman, who had 15 1/2 knockdowns in 2005 and 15 in '06, doubled his career high this season with 31. He played 17 games, forced to sit out the final game against Detroit despite his protestations to coach Mike McCarthy.
Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila was second in knockdowns with 11, followed by Cullen Jenkins with 9 1/2 and Corey Williams with 9. No one else had more than four. Kampman led in sacks with 12, one more than Gbaja-Biamila. Jenkins led in hurries with 18 1/2, followed by "KGB" with 16 and Kampman with 15 1/2.
For the third straight year, Kampman led the club in "pressures" (defined as the total of sacks, knockdowns and hurries) with 58 1/2. That's three more than Kampman had last year, and the most since the statistic was first recorded by the Journal Sentinel in '98.
