GREEN BAY — Aaron Kampman finally spoke Wednesday, but he did so in very un-Kampman-like fashion.

The Green Bay Packers’ two-time Pro Bowl defensive end, who is moving to left outside linebacker in the team’s new 3-4 defense, ended his media silence Wednesday by talking about the new defense and his new role in it following the team’s second open-to-the-media organized team activity practice.

But the normally affable, polite and thoughtful Kampman’s answers were curt, vague and did little to dispel the belief that he’s uncomfortable and/or unhappy with the new scheme during a 7-minute Q&A session at his locker.

“I’m learning it,” said Kampman, who chose his words carefully after not speaking at last week’s first open OTA practice. “I don’t really have a whole lot else to say. I’m learning it.”

Asked if it were up to him, would he rather be a defensive end in a 4-3 defense, Kampman said, “I’m not at liberty to really make those choices.”

Kampman is entering the final year of his contract, and while he didn’t say his contract status was a factor in his situation, he didn’t deny it, either.

“I’ve never really spoken about my contract. I’ve been through it a couple of times, and I just haven’t really spoken about the business side of things,” Kampman said. “I’d like to keep it that way.”

Kampman, who has 37 sacks over the past three seasons, said he had not spoken publicly about the new defense before Wednesday because he was “just focusing on football. This is a transition, and I just want to focus on it.”

He tried to downplay the significance of his position change, saying he is “one of 11 in this defense. There seems to be a lot of attention on myself. So, I’ve just tried to focus.”

Asked if he is uncomfortable with the new defense or if he feels that maybe it isn’t the best thing for him, Kampman said, “No, I think those are things that the media has talked about.”

On three occasions — when asked about his initial reaction to the switch to the 3-4 defense, whether it would be a good defense for the Packers and whether it would be successful here — Kampman replied that it has “historically” been a “solid,” “sound” and “very good” defense.

Asked if he likes the defense, Kampman said, “I’m learning it.” Asked if he will learn to like it, Kampman added, “I’m not saying I don’t like it. I’m just saying I’m learning it.”

The biggest challenge for Kampman is dropping in coverage, but during Wednesday’s open-to-the-public practice, Kampman made two nice plays doing so.

First, in 11-on-11, he was in on a deflected Aaron Rodgers pass that was intended for tight end Jermichael Finley but wound up being intercepted by nickelback Tramon Williams. Later, in 7-on-7, Kampman broke up a Rodgers pass intended for wide receiver Brett Swain.

“Aaron Kampman’s performance so far has been very positive. I think he has really fit in very well,” coach Mike McCarthy said.

“I think he attacked the new defense just like you think Aaron would. He spent a lot of individual time with (outside linebackers coach) Kevin Greene over the last three months. You could see he has a complete understanding so far of the installs that we have put in there, and I think when you do reach that point as a player, regardless of what position, it gives you the ability to play faster. I think he has done a very nice job. It’s always nice to see someone add a little more variety to their game. ... I think he’ll only improve.”

Kampman, who is listed at 6-foot-4 and 265 pounds, said he hasn’t lost any weight but is “a little leaner.” He summed up his performance during Wednesday’s practice saying “there were some things that I’d like to have back, but that’s the learning curve.”
